A Proclamation to the Squires of House Ironwolf
By the Hand of Baron Sir Osric Eisenwulf
Let it be known to all who gather at this year’s Allthing, that I, Baron Sir Osric Eisenwulf, extend this summons to every squire who bears my belt and chain.
These symbols were forged not as trinkets, nor as keepsakes to rest upon a shelf, but as living tokens of service, discipline, and the path you once chose to walk.
Therefore, in the spirit of honor and without a breath of judgment or shame, I call upon each of you to reaffirm your desire to remain my squire in the coming year.
If your road has turned, if your duties have shifted, or if your heart seeks another path, you may return your belt and chain freely and without reproach. For no son or daughter of Ironwolf is diminished by such truth.
Know this: Those who return their regalia remain ever members of House Ironwolf. Your place at our hearth is unbroken. Your name is not forgotten. Your worth is not measured by leather or steel, but by the deeds you have done and the loyalty you have shown.
Let this proclamation stand as a reminder that the belts and chains of Ironwolf are meant to be worn by those who actively serve within the SCA, and that their meaning endures only through the living hands that bear them.
May each of you come to the Allthing with clarity, courage, and the freedom to choose your path without fear.
If you will not be attending the Allthing, please reach out to the people in the household who will be attending and send your things with them. Thank you.
By my word and by my honor,
Baron Sir Osric Eisenwulf, Lord of House Ironwolf
Congratulations to Horacio Archer the new Pentamere Thrown Weapons Champion.
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!
Let it be known throughout the realm and to all kin of the bloodline, that yesterday under a blazing sun where the heat did crest a brutal one hundred and seven degrees, a grand spectacle of arms took place!Be it known that Tristan Silvertoes, a warrior of fierce resolve, did step onto the field of honor at Ironwolf! Though the field was small, numbering a mere four souls, the peril was unmatched. Two among the combatants were veteran Knights of the Society, having wielded blade and shield since before our own house ever joined the rolls of the organization! The third, a warrior of exceptional prowess!
They fought a grueling contest across eight distinct styles of weaponry, bound by the treacherous laws of the Valhalla Circle of Death. Through long, grueling hours of sweat and steel, Tristan did match them blow for blow. By his cunning and the skillful deployment of a rare Revenant token—granting him a miraculous second life on the field—he did vanquish all who stood before him!
By right of arms and undisputed victory, Tristan has ascended and is hereby proclaimed the Heavy Weapons Champion of Ironwolf! 🏆⚔️
When the weapons were put down; a sacred libation was passed among all the fighters to reunify the pack after such hard fighting.
But hold your cheers, good gentles, for a champion's work is never done! Even as we speak, he returns to the lists to defend his sacred honor and standing as the Fencing Champion!
Let us also raise a horn to the noble adversaries, and brothers, who made this victory so hard-fought: Vivat to the valiant fighters and esteemed Knights who pushed him to the absolute limit! 🍻

Hoobah!! IRONWOLF!!!
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!
Gather round, good gentles of the realm, and lend your ears to a tale of tempest, steel, and historic triumph!Though the heavens threatened to wash away the field with fierce storms and cancellation, the brave fencers of the realm looked to the skies and defied the rain! As the clouds parted during the thrown weapons lists, the rapier elite did take the field to face the grand tournament.
Eight bold challengers stepped forward to test the mettle of our defending champion, Tristan Silvertoes. Five grueling rounds were fought under the treacherous laws of the Valhalla Circle of Death, with Tristan fiercely claiming victory in four of those structural rounds! The third round—a test of two swords, Case—raged on so fiercely that the seconds stretched into eternity, forcing the marshals to threaten permanent death to any who fell. Yet with grim resolve, Tristan put down the crosshairs and closed that endless round in a mere eight minutes. Throughout the tourney, the valiant Yukio fought with immense prowess, taking up the sword and shield to claim a glorious victory of his own!
But the true drama was saved for the grand finale! Tristan faced the exceptionally skilled and fierce Moira, who took up the single sword in a Swiss Five duel. Blow for blow, they matched each other until they stood deadlocked. Yet just as victory seemed within Tristan's grasp, Moira invoked the dark magic of the Revenant token! Rising from the dead for one final, breathless bout, she claimed the point and tied the score three to three!
With the championship hanging in the balance, one final, winner-take-all bout was called. Steel clashed, hearts pounded, and by the grace of his skill, Tristan Silvertoes struck the final blow!
Let it be known across all lands: Tristan has retained his title! He stands today as the first warrior in the household to hold BOTH the Heavy Weapons and Rapier Champions' swords simultaneously! 🏆⚔️🤺
A grand salute and a thunderous Vivat! to Moira for her incredible mastery of the single sword and an unforgettable battle, to Yukio for his splendid victory with shield in hand, and to every noble combatant who stained the field with their sweat. When the steel was sheathed and the dust had settled, a sacred libation was passed among all to reunify the pack after such hard fighting.
God save the Champions, and long live the Pack!
