Academie of the Rapier
(2009-05-08 - 2009-05-10 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 12 PM)
Kapellenberg
The Canton of Kappellenberg is honored to host Rapier Academie! Come one and all to hone your skills and to take the field against the best and most skilled combatants in Atlantia (or the Knowne World, we all know they\'re one and the same). But that\'s not all...
We will also be hosting an archery shoot, which is the perfect opportunity to practice just a week prior to Southern Atlantia Archery Day. But that\'s not all....
We\'re taking advantage of our \"wet\" site to host a brewing competition! Brewers and Vintners, bring your very best to the competition; you know, that batch that you\'ve been wanting to show off in a public setting. But that\'s not all...
As an added incentive to bring your \"A game\" in all of the above categories, Their Excellencies Girard and Guenievre will be choosing Baronial champions in all three of the above categories. But that\'s not all...
If you come to Kappellenberg, we\'re going to feed you well. To that end, we will be hosting a sumptuous feast prepared by Lady Beatrice Villani.
By my count, that\'s FIVE good reasons to join us! We look forward to seeing you there.
