Tasty baklava, ball-jointed dolls, amazing tablet-weaving. These were just a few of the entries for the Arts and Sciences War Point for Pennsic 49. When the dust settled, three entries stood out among the rest, scored by a myriad of judges. Among the non-Laurels, The Honorable Lady Ysabel da Costa of the East was the top contender. The Allies War Point was taken by Baron Brun Canutssen for the Midrealm. Finally, the Laurels War Point went to the entry by Master Gunnar Alfljolt. This gives the Midrealm an additional point, and the East two points. Congratulations to all who were chosen to represent their kingdoms in this best-of-the-best competition.
