I’ve bought a helmet to give an authentic look to the tournament tent. Hopefully more pieces of armour will follow. But still it’s a start.

In the tent we will present the genre of the romance and the concept of the knights. We will connect our exposition to that of the “weapon and wars” group.

I saw that Fiona got an axe as a freebie but I have bought another one nevertheless – it was only L$8 so I think I can afford that.

This is my first buy floating in the air…

I found this pack of medieval furnitures on the marketplace of slexchange, which I think would be nice for the equipment of our library. It would contribute to the atmosphere and maybe we can even have important writers (e.g. Gower, Chaucer) sit on the chairs reading (out loud) parts of their literary works.

I bought two trunks that could be used to display things (Visitors could open them and take out notecards or sth like that). One of them can be copied (I had bought two before I discovered that…).
The “Ornate Medieval Throne” and the axe were freebies that can be copied as well. So whoever might want to use those can have them.
The sword is from Waasland Castle.

On our way through universe of SL, Blue Fotherington and me, Gredi Wobbit, discovered the Avilion Place. This land was built for Role Players. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Avilion%20Isle/140/233/64 There is an archery practice place where role players, assassins and the students of HHU can train their skills.  Also you can get a bow and arrows for free.  Another highlight of Avilion is the opportunity to organize a Sword-Tournament.

To fit us against viking attacks we bought a real viking armory shield and swords for hand to hand combat, bows and arrows for the distance fight like real knights. And to protect us of the sun and the falling heaven we bought a medieval iron helmet  :) .

All these weapons we can connect with some wars or special points in history. Maybe we can use notecards to give more detail information’s. Now we are searching for a solution to present these weapons accurate. One of the ideas is to create a small training place for knights, showing the weapons in use.

As you can see I bought a medieval mirror with reaper statues attached on both sides. I want to use it to present my information about the black death on its surface, or maybe convert it into a magic mirror, so people can ask it certain questions. I don’t really have an idea how to do that yet, but I have seen it with other mirrors. So if any of you should know how to do it, it’d be thankful for some advice. :)

We can put it wherever there’s space for it,  somewhere close to the presentation about the war of the roses or other historical events maybe.

I bought the instruments at Oz’s Medieval Instruments Shoppe http://slurl.com/secondlife/Montisigard/146/56/79 If you’d like to, go there and check it out. There are a lot more instruments to try out. Feefee
