Seven Hills Skirmishes
(2013-03-23 - Site opens at & Closes at )
Black Diamond
As the first breaths of spring winds cut through the
valleys, we are reminded of the approach of summer.
With the green fields and bright days comes WAR!
The monarchs of Atlantia have called for Their army to
train at arms and Their people to sharpen their skills in
preparation for Pennsic War. The Canton of Seven Hills
has heard Their Majesties call and answer.
