Their Excellencies Calum and Constanza cordially invite you to the 21st Annual Cleftlands Standard Bearers Tournament to be held on Saturday, September 22 at the country estate of Juliane and Llywelyn in Chardon, OH. Duties have called away those who currently serve the Barony, and so their Excellencies have invited the most skilled within their borders to compete for the honor of serving as champions in armored combat, rapier, archery, and the arts! Come one and all to compete or to cheer for your favorites. For our younger populace, an activity area will be set aside for parent-supervised activities. All are welcome!
