The event was visited by gentles from far and wide; from close at home in the lands of Selviergard to the lands of Eskalya, and even from the far off lands of Hrafnafjordr and Pavlok Gorod; all came to celebrate the occasion.
During the opening court, Baron Fathir and Baroness Étaín welcomed all to the celebration; among them the first Baron and Baroness of Selviergard, Fergus and Margarita. Their Highnesses were also in attendance, and they gleefully anticipated the day's activities.
It was during this, the opening court, that Their Highnesses decided to honor Viscountess Trava Zapadova with The Order of the Snowy Owl, an award given for excellence in the arts. Hakon Adulwolfeson was also honored with an Award of Arms for his hard work in the Shire of Hrafnafjordr.
After the opening court; the Tournament honoring the fabled White Stag commenced; offering more than a simple glimpse of heroism, chivalry, and prowess upon the field.
In days past, the White Stag was stalked by courageous hunters intent on capturing their noble prey. The Stag, though cleverness and honor, attained the promise of protection by the maidens of the Land from the hunters before entering the woods to be on his way. The Stag was spotted by the hunters and he quickly tried to evade the group, which vastly outnumbered him. Being eventually trapped at a point just outside the encampment, the Stag was spied by the maidens who ran to him and gave their protection to him as they had promised.
Selviergard celebrated the legend of the White Stag by holding a tournament that honored both the Stag and the hunters of days past.
Sir Kenric, Prince of Oertha plays the part of the honored White Stag.
