War of the Wings IX
(2014-10-15 - 2014-10-19 - Site opens at 12 PM & Closes at 2 PM)
Sacred Stone

The rogue Knight Bryce De Byram seeks to enforce his claim to lands and goods of the Barony of Sacred Stone! He claims letters from kings ancient giving him this right, nay, this duty! The Coronets and populace of Sacred Stone refute such claims!

As we gather to settle this argument classes will be held on everything from cheese making to smelting, from heraldry to dance, from storytelling to fingerloop braiding. There will be a Hafla, a Masque Ball Carnivale celebration and a common Market Place Dance. A well equipped heraldic consult table, a full range of children\'s activities, period tavern games, an adults-only fully period i Firenzi performance and so much more!

Armored, Rapier, Archery, Thrown Weapons, and Equestrian lists will run from Thursday afternoon till Sunday Morning. And MERCHANTS! More than 30 to tempt your purse strings!

Friendly Pet Friendly. Wet Site.
