Bright Hills

​Once again the Atlantian populace will gather in the Barony of BRIGHT HILLS to test themselves in two completely different contests. On Saturday, September 10th, 2022 be prepared to marvel at the skill & deeds of Atlantian Cooks and Archers. We meet on the "fields of battle" at the Baltimore Bowmen. Here will be decided the finest Cooks and mightiest Archers in the Kingdom. Of course we also invite any and all contestants from our sister Kingdoms to compete as well. This is a time when too many Cooks will not spoil anything! ​
