'''Spring War: Academy of Wars'''  
+
'''Burning Lands'''
The largest Amtgard event, [[Spring War]]:Academy of Wars, was hosted by the [[Celestial Kingdom]] in Giddings, [[Texas]]. The attendance topped last year's event and approached the [[2006]] total; reaching, at the last available count, the 570s. People traveled from all over the Amtworld to attend, with the longest traveling delegation coming from  [[Alaska]]'s and [[Dragonspine]]'s [[Astral Winds]]. Many previously inactive notables were present including [[Ivar Nefarious]] and [[Skippy]]. Some, like [[Michael]] were greatly missed. Thanks go out to the group that made the trip down from the [[Frostlands]]; who despite their long drive to the event were seen helping out where ever they could.

The majority of the planned battles came off well, with the possible exception of the Raid on Tortuga. [[Mass spells]] and [[Water]] rules were used in a combination with pvc boats and a [[Kraken]], which lead to a lot of confusion. This particular [[battlegame]] was saved by [[Raven Harkkonen]]'s near perfect portrayal of Jack Sparrow, even in retreat.

Jugging this year, while without last year's brawls, was filled with what can only be called conduct unbecoming. Many red cards were given one notably to [[Weasel]] for punting the dog skull, despite the fact the move was illegal and that he that he was already dead.
 
  
Tourneys were one by those you'd expect, [[Oznog]] taking the Robin hood tourney. [[Alana]] won the Queen of the hill tourney with a streak of 14, and most people agreed that tourney itself was not nearly as bad as last year. [[Sparhawk]] was the victor of the Tri-wizard Tourney, and was named the [[Flurb]] of the year as a result.

This was a big  year for Knightings at SW, with three first belts being given and one second. The Celestial Kingdom ninja Knighted [[Lynae]] and [[Chango]], each in the order of the Flame. Each of them were knighted in part because of the work they had put into previous Spring Wars. The [[Wetlands]] also created two [[Knights]], [[Zane]] (Order currently unknown) and granted Slyddur his [[Crown Belt]]. Which would have been his original order of Knight hood, if not for a last second switch.

In the end no major injuries were reported, and no yet known brawls, and most seem to have had a good time. So thank you from Spring War, and we hope to see you next year!
