Baelfire Dunn

Yes Good Citizens of our Fair Kingdom of Atlantia, Below the Salt is back again!! That’s right! And this time we are going to go FURTHER below than we did last year!! Still don't know how to address the guy with the really cool looking crown?? Then come on out and rub elbows with the Commoners and Peasantry in the humble country fair that the populace of Baelfire Dunn call THE party of the YEAR! No court, no titles, no drama, just fun for everyone!!

Martial Activities: Heavy Fighting: This year we have a Grand Melee!! Come out and beat the snot out of your buddy and then cool off later with an ice cold bee …er, um ...beverage! Anyway, we will also be having three tournaments, including a Greybeards tourney sponsored by Sir Godfried and a silver chalice tourney sponsored by Baron Achbar! The event's tourney also features a prize of a Camp Chair covered in Atlantia's colors! Rapier Fighting: For those of you who were at last year’s event you may remember the tavern. Well it’s a much less rough place now that the Corsairium has stepped in for security, but we still have some ruffians about. So we decided to give them a Grand Melee as well in the hopes that they will be far to tired to get rowdy later in the evening. There will also be a tourney with the prize of a Camp Chair covered in Atlantia's colors!

Arts & Sciences Activities: The brewing contest last year was a resounding success and I have already heard of gentles preparing their brews for this one! Bring your best! Bring your worst! Also, we will be having a Peasant Garb Fashion Show! Extra points will be given for authenticity, but points will be deducted for particularly strong odors!
