Tournament of Ymir
(2014-02-21 - 2014-02-23 - Site opens at 5:00 PM & Closes at 12:00)
Windmasters' Hill

 Bask in the warm summer, friends, let it soak into your bones.  As you sweat and swelter, embrace it.  Welcome the heat with joy in your heart, for the hrimpursar come driving the sleet and snow before them.  Already on the march, the father of the jotnar, Ymir, turns his eyes to Atlantia, determined to bring ice to our lands, and our souls. Brace yourselves.  Winter is coming. We will pay homage to the Frost Giant with armored, rapier, and archery tournaments, various and diverse A&S competitions and displays, dancing, bardic, Viking sports and games, and a feast fit for gods, giants, and kings.
