Midwinter's Tale: A Quest for Love and Honor
(2010-01-22 - 2010-01-24 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 10)
Border Vale Keep

As the cold winds blow, make your way south to slightly warmer lands and join us for a day celebrating those who inspire the ones who protect our fair Kingdom of Atlantia. We place our call to all fighters and archers to compete on the fields and for the favor of the ladies in attendance. Each lady will be given a token which she may bestow on the fighter or archer of her choice. There will be a prize awarded to the one who collects the most tokens. So, hone your martial skills as well as the gentler art of requesting a lady’s token.

Martial Activities: Heavy fighters will test their prowess in a round robin tournament and a double elimination tournament. Archers will test their skill in a variety of shoots.

Arts and Sciences: There will be a Lady’s favor competition with the winner being chosen by populace vote. There will also be an open A&S display, so bring your finished and in-progress projects. And, just for fun, there will be a pie competition, documentation not required. Following judging, pies will be available for the populace to enjoy.

Feast: After braving the elements on the fields, come warm up with a brimming bowl of soup or stew, bread, cheese, selected sliced meats, and cookies and milk. A vegetarian option will be available. Contact feastcrat with any dietary concerns.
