Castellan is the premiere event of the Barony of Northkeep, held on an annual basis, which determines the Baronial champion.

Puissant skill at arms are not all that is required to win the day! Castellan is an Arts & Sciences \ Martial event that is comprised of six areas of competition. Individually, these competitions are include : Drighton - heavy weapons, Provost - light weapons, Marksman - thrown weapons of axe, knife and spear, Title Bard - heraldic endeavors, Artisan - proving skill in the arts and sciences, and Archer.

The concept of the Castellan is to determine the best all-around person to watch over and defend Northkeep. Therefore, they need not be the best in any given area, but rather should stand out in many areas.


Each competitor for the Castellan title must enter no less than 3 competitions: one must be a Martial, and one must be either of the Arts/Sciences or Bardic - any other competitions they choose to enter are of their own choice. Upon entering each individual competition, the entrant will notify the person running said competition whether or not he/she is running for the Castellan title. Regardless of who wins the individual competitions, those who are running for Castellan will be assigned points in respect to their placement in the competition.

The total number of points someone who is competing in Castellan has will be divided by the number of competitions that they enter. Should there be a tie in the final scoring, it will be decided by the highest ranking person present who is not from Northkeep, assuming they are willing to make that determination.

The Drighton tournament will be the usual two 30 minute "meat grinder" rounds (first round being fighters choice, second being great weapons ONLY). The Archery will be in a standard ICAC format. The Artisan is determined by an open competition. Documentation is required, and all entrants will be judged using the Ansteorra A&S standard judging forms. The Title Bard competition is a challenge motif.


One of the fine traditions of Castellan is a feast to amaze and marvel. This year is no different, and will be prepared by Lady Elisabeth de Calais & her staff

Event Site: Will Rodgers Boy Scout Camp

From TULSA:
Get on the Broken Arrow (Highway 51- west) and head towards downtown Tulsa. It will be tricky, but you want to follow the signs for 412 toward Stillwater. Once on 412 heading West, travel approximately 30 miles, across Keystone Lake. The exit for Cleveland is the last free exit before the turnpike. Follow it into town and at the first light on the edge of Cleveland, turn left. Follow road out of town and at the top of a very large hill a few miles out of town, there is a sign on the right for Will Rodger's Boy Scout Camp.
