Largesse Derby

At Coronation, we will run a Royal Largesse Derby to help replenish them with wonderful gifts from anyone inclined to support this cause. Largesse is not limited to medieval things! We also need items for all groups, newcomers, children, artisans, fighters, scribes, our seasoned Scadians, etc. 

To enter the derby, you’ll need 12 items of one kind. For an Over the Top category you will need to have at least three entries. If you need ideas, check out the lists below.

On behalf of Their Majesties, Their Highnesses, and HL Inga miðlungr, thank you!

Largesse Ideas

The definition of largess is a generously given gift. ANYONE can give largess. I view largess as being two types: Personal and public. Personal largesse is given by an individual such as a thank you for service or "Wow that was a great death!". Public is given by the Crown, Coronets, and landed nobles.
