Greetings Unto the Populace of Ealdormere, from Edouard and Domhnail, King and Queen of the Lupine Lands. We hope that one and all are enjoying the Norman and Saxon power struggle!

As you may have noticed, We have not taken any official champions like many of Our predecessors. Instead, We have selected 3 spear bearers and 3 axe bearers to attend Us. However, We would be remiss in Our duties if Ealdormere did not have champions to take the field at Pennsic. It is Our desire that those who seek to champion Ealdormere at Pennsic, come to War of the Trillium where We shall host tournaments which shall decide Ealdormere’s Pennsic Champions. We would ask only those who know they will be coming to Pennsic to participate. Location:
Canton of Ard Chreag (Whitby, Ontario)
