Bright Hills Baronial Birthday
(2007-02-03 - Site opens at 10 AM & Closes at 10 PM)
Bright Hills
It is Spain in the early 16th century. The Moors have been expelled, and we have reclaimed our territory. Now it is time to bring Spain into its Golden Age, with the help of a hard-working citizenry and the gold brought back to us from the New World. In the spirit of a rebirth of a nation, we will invest a new Baron and Baroness. Though their previous Excellencies, like the Moors, have done a lot for our Barony and continue to leave their unique, indelible mark on our culture, it is now time to move forward……
Martial Activities: The new Baron and Baroness will be selecting their Heavy Weapons champion at this event in a tournament run by Baron Heinrich Kriener (Robert Stephen Kriner). Any questions can be directed to him at
Baron Heinrich Kriener
Arts & Sciences Activities: There will be a grand display of arts & sciences at Baronial Birthday. All are invited to display their best works or work-in-progress. We will have a competition for the "Best Piece of Flat Art that is NOT a scroll or an exact reproduction of a period piece of art" Documentation is required.
