Ponte Alto
Banners of the North! Weep! You shame your noble King with your winter\'s lethargy. While Atlantia\'s foes tilt at rings, you have wintered by your hearthsides growing soft on rude tales and mulled wine. Enough! Arise and shake off the rust of these past frigid months. Sound the battle horn and muster again. Let all the banners of the north fly and fan our hearts to acts worthy of song. The Barony of Ponte Alto is proud to present a day that will be sure to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty fighter. This is event is a fighter\'s dream, featuring our usual bearpit tourney and as many pickups as you can stomach.
