Relic and Reliquary
As you Quest, you will find a relic on your journey for enlightenment. Please collect this important item and place it in a reliquary worthy of the significance of your relic.
1.Each team find a sacred relic somewhere in your domicile. Perhaps, you’ve found the tooth of a saint, a prayer book of a sage, or the girdle of a warrior queen. Search the caverns of your closets, the catacombs in your garage, and the dark and fearsome sepulcher under the bed for your relic.
2.You must decorate a small wooden box, provided by the event staff, to protect and represent the nature of your relic. Your team will post a completed picture, or pictures, of the relic and reliquary to the BGL Facebook page.
3.Finally, your team will provide a description of the important relic contained within you artistic and stately reliquary. This is an opportunity for a grand and silly bardic performance as you tell the story about the discovery and significance of the relic as well as the symbolism and artistry used to create the reliquary.
Great shall be the tale you tell of the item’s namesake and how you discovered this sacredpiece of their history. With fervor and passion, you will share your sacred item.
Make a Pilgrim Guide
Each team will be provided a sealed bag of thread, fabric, trim, buttons or beads and faux fur. Each bag will contain similar items. The team will create a Guide to lead their Quest Team. Quest Points will be given to the team that:
-Utilizes the most items from the bag -Demonstrates skillful construction -Completes the most creative team mascot -Earns the Baron’s and Baroness’ Choice
Defending the Faith
During the spring of 1099, Christian armies advanced on Jerusalem. Pilgrims wishing to visit the Holy City of Jerusalem accompanied the Crusader Army. We now call this journey the First Crusade. The Crusades served a dual purpose, both as religious pilgrimages and military expeditions.
During their journey to Jerusalem, pilgrims saw the use of siege equipment. Your task will be to build a tabletop catapult and record a demonstration of your weapon’s ability to (successfully) hit a target.

The Pilgrimage
Each team will journey in their four-wheeled internal horsepower wagons to seek out the Waymarkers on their pilgrimage.
On the day of Quest, Zalkuubar will post six riddles to the Barony of Gryphon’s Lair Facebook site. Each riddle will describe an item to include in a photograph with your questing team that will document a waypoint on your pilgrimage. It is highly probable that clues to these waypoints are in the newsletter’s written and pictorial content.
