<p>24.58.139.106: </p> <hr /> <div>Organized by the [[Shire of Trinovantia Nova]] in [[Ealdormere]], the '''Winter War''' [[tourney]] is a large event, usually held in March, and is commonly regarded as the first &quot;big&quot; event of the year in [[Ealdormere]]. Organized primarily as a [[melee]] tournament, Winter War attracts many [[households]] which specialize in melee combat, such as [[House Blacksword]] and [[House Rozaaki]]. The event, now in its seventh year, also features [[boffer]] and [[rapier]] combat, as well as a large [[merchant]]'s area.<br /> <br /> Because it is a melee tournament, many [[fighter]]s regard Winter War as an opportunity to fight in a less [[chivalry|chivalrous]] manner than is customary in the [[SCA]], which has caused controversy in the past. A number of respected fighters therefore avoid the [[lists]] at this event, owing to Winter War's record of injuries.<br /> <br /> After the lists are closed, Winter War hosts a [[court]] and a [[feast]]. Traditionally, the [[King]]s of Ealdormere save many [[award]]s to Trinovantians until Winter War, since it is the one event that every Trinovantian is likely to attend.<br /> <br /> Winter War is a [[damp site|damp]] event, with [[beer]] and [[cider]] available for purchase at feast.<br /> <br /> The Shire of Trinovantia Nova is currently searching for a new venue for the event, as it has outgrown the current location in [[Woodstock]], Ontario.<br /> <br /> [[category:events]]</div>
