Part of Clairiel's history display at Standard Bearer's 2008

The 17th Annual Standard Bearers was held at the Stow Armory, nestled within the borders of Brendoken to the south. Although the event was technically a Standard Bearers, it is primarily know by the moniker Never Trust a Barony Over 30.

Tyzes Sofia headed breakfast bar, Llywelyn Glyndyverdwy oversaw the Bardic Brawl, Juliane Bechaumpe taught dyeing and organized the Artisan's Solar. Runa Æikibrandskona organized a silent auction to raise money for the royal travel fund. Clairiel du Vent Argent organized an amazing historic display.

After Silverthorne handed the standard back to Their Excellencies, they invoked the list, addressing the combatants. To their left, here pictured, is Sir William, the first Cleftlands Standard Bearer.

At the onset of the tournament, Their Excellencies asked all previous Standard Bearers present to stand in order in which they had held the standard and to pass it down the line to them. Each Standard Bearer spoke of who they received it from and who they gave it to, so even those Standard Bearer's not present were represented. The first Standard Bearer William Ransom, followed by Ephraim ben Shlomo, Conrad Schwartzwolf, Lothar de Normandie, Crispin de la Rochefoucauld, Radagaisus Vidigoia Balthi, and Silverthorn of Drachenmoor.

As the start of a new tradition, Baron Edward Brackenburye held the list and fought each combatant as part of their entry fee to the list. The combatants were required to bring a tale of the Barony's history based on one of the Chivalric virtues. Kari Garanhirson won the prize, a set of blue and white goblets, for the best tale. Milesent Vibert chose Aiden Elfëadur as the new Premiere Dancer of the Dance Guild.

Ealdred of Gwyntarian gleefully presented a feast themed the History of Cleftlands Feasts including some comedic recreations of past disasters such as a large empty platter with a sign representing the feast where they pig they ordered never arrived, and an over-turned pot of burned peas.

Later in Baronial Court it was announced that all those were previously awarded the Baronial Award to be Named were now Companions of the Order of Saint Clairiel, with the two newest members being Laurelen Darksbane and Eikbrandr Solgyafi.
