Hail and welcome,Majesties, Excellencies, Lords, Ladies, and all good folk in between -
The Barony of Starkhafn invites you to our Yule celebration! Prepare for a journey... Don your finest festive garb for an indoor and outdoor revel, and sail with us as we retrace the voyages of the Norse ancestors. From Vinland and Britannia, to the gates of Byzantium and the shores of the Caspian Sea.
From Normandy to the Danelaw, and the wild Rus lands - we will explore them all! Walk amongst booths showcasing each culture (with photo opportunities for our travelers) and then feast like Jarls with a six-course banquet worthy of the sagas.
The youth can anticipate Father Yule attending and bestowing gifts and pleasantries, if not a little festive entertainment.
Merriment, music, and magic await. We cannot wait to celebrate with you. Skal!
THE FEAST:
Our Viking feast will include six courses:
● First Course: A Vinland Spread
“A view into the bountiful lands and the flavors the Natives of North America would
have shared.”
- With cooked meats, berries, nuts, Talo flat bread, and vegetables.

“The thick and hearty meals of the journey West, and the glory of a new land.”

“The flavors of Sultans and steel... The spices of a new world.”
- Kubideh (seasoned ground beef) and Chicken Kabobs displayed on saffron
and turmeric rice.

● Fourth Course: The raids of Normandy
“The payment of conquest in Frankia, a rich and savory victory indeed.”
- Beef Bourguignon (a classic French beef stew braised in red wine)

“The Saehrimnir Feast; A serving of the great boar hunted and fed upon by those in
Odin's halls, only to reform and be hunted again the next day.”

There is no prize or contest, just an opportunity to share what you have and, *ONLY IF YOU WISH FOR IT*, get feedback and assistance from the assembled populace.

There will also be a traditional display. Bring any project that is complete or in progress; documentation is not required but encouraged. There will be prizes for Populace, Coronet, and Royal Choice. If there are any alcoholic brewing entries, they will have their own separate competition.

We have a surplus of donations and wonderful supplies that we want to see used. Most supplies will be available for direct sale.

The Bard of Starkhafn competition will also take place during this event. In keeping with the theme, submissions should be centered around travel and multicultural influences. We would love to see all bards entertain everyone with their persona and culture!
