About
the Three Saints
St.
Wulf, St. Tasha, and
St. Booger were miraculous gentles of Rivenstar's earlier
days, whose legends faded into obscurity but were rediscovered in
2003. In their honor, we co-hosted "Three Saints and a Pig"
with the Barony of White Waters (The Baron at the time, His Excellency
Koontz, was known to have a thing for pigs; we don't ask, we just eat
what he cooks).
The
following year, to honor the
venerable Fifi, first sheep ever to be used in a Rustler's Tourney, we
hosted "Three Saints and a Sheep," and for 2005, we had the
pirate-themed "Three Saints and a Parrot", complete with RivenstARR
banner in the feast hall.
In 2006, the theme was Byzantine,
with "Three Saints and a Goat" and locally-raised chevron on the feast
table, complemented by locally-crafted goat cheeses.
For
2007, Three Saints and a Reindeer, we featured authentic Viking weather
(it snowed on Saturday, and ONLY on Saturday, with Friday and Sunday
sunny and in the mid-50s) and a feast including venison, elk, and fish.
In 2008, the event animal was The Hare (of the Dog), and it appears that
switching to a springtime animal worked, since the event weather was beautiful.
For 2009, we wanted to honor our tradition as being the first major event of the
melee season (and make sure we had the warmest weather possible), so we went
with Three Saints and a Tyger, complete with Indian-inspired dishes at feast.
Most recently, 2010 offered up Three Saints and a Honeybee - mostly because we
needed an excuse to make baklava.
And finally, in 2011 we celebrated Three Saints and a Coronation, 'cause,
well, duh, it was Coronation!
