As the leaves fall from the trees and the nights grow short and chill…something stirs in the mountains. Could it be? Could the stories be true? Yes! The old-timers say that the Hawkwood Howl is returning and we know they’re always right! Please join the denizens of the Barony of Hawkwood for a weekend full of fun and fright. You never know what might happen when the Hawkwood Howl returns! The Autumn days in Hawkwood can be quite magical, so to honor that tradition our tournaments of the day shall be the same.
