The overriding theme in Stormholds' A&S activities and competitions will be one of persona development. Inspired by other competitions around the known world, the aim is to explore what your persona may have known about, experienced, or done in your chosen time period.

A&S meetings will still be held once a month, and will act as an introduction to topics that can be further discussed or worked upon at Kensington Hall, and there is a chance to show your new skills with a competition held at Monthly Bash. A lot of these competitions are documentation-based, as they deal with persona development.

This is a summary of what has been thought of and discussed for arts and sciences in Stormhold. If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me:- quokkaqueen@hotmail.com

There is a long list of possible suggestions for activities we could be doing, and I would love any feedback!

This is a list of the things the Baroness wishes she had, or that she'd like other people to organise. It will grow (and shrink, I hope) over time

If you don't understand something, or just want to know moreplease ask.

Help with organising Baronial Commendation Tokens
They are currently a silver background with a gold drakkar, so require two separate casts.

Heavyweight felted wool to make Hoods of Warmth
Each hood uses a bit more than half a meter of fabric. If the wool is felted, it doesn't have to be hemmed, speeding up the construction process considerably.
