Hosted by the [[Canton]] of [[Ardchreag]] this annual event held on the Canada Day long weekend) has undergone many changes throughout its lifetime. Originally begun as [[Septentrian] War Practice, it was changed to [[Ealdormere]] War Practice (or, as it was more normally called, EWP). |
|||
In 2005, the event stewards maintained that the kingdom had had enough practice, and that it was time for the real deal. [[War of the Trillium]] (sometimes also called Trillium War) was born. |
|||
The event is a camping event that usually lasts between four and five days. Usual activities include [[armoured combat]], [[fencing]], [[archery]], [[thrown weapons]], [[merchanting]] and [[bardic circles]]. [[House Galbraith]] celebrates its anniversary at WoT, and hosts a large party on the Saturday night of the event. |
|||
A theme is picked for each year (such as [[Early Period]] vs. [[Late Period]]), with energetic members of the kingdom's populace selected to act as leaders for each side. [[Mistress AElfwyn of Longwood]], the Captain of the [[Early Period]] in 2005, was especially enthusiastic, making campaign posters plastered about the event site, singing slogans and actively campaigning for supports. |
|||
The event has always been held at Heber Down Conservation Area in Whitby, Ontario, [[Canada]], except for 2003 and 2004, when it had to move to nearby Omeemee due to booking conflicts. |
