Baron Bryce has laid claim to all the lands along the King’s Highway from Caer Mear down to his summer estate in Nottinghill Coil. Only one thing stands in his way – The Barony of Windmaster’s Hill! Come join the Barony of Caer Mear for a long weekend of mêlées in the shade at the site of the Sapphire Joust Tournament.

Their Excellencies will also select their Champions and Artisan for the coming year. For those of a gentler persuasion, an A&S competition (documentation required) and display for Pennsic works in progress will take place. Lady Sorcha Gaughran ( CyndyAnne00@aol.com ) will serve a simple but hearty feast for $5. At night songs of valor and tales of bravery will echo through the woods.
