Marinus
As winter gives way to spring, the stiff sea breezes push back the mist to reveal the Barnacled Bullfrog, a humble tavern on the shores of Marinus where privateers, merchant-adventurers, and all salty souls who love the sea come to raise a glass or two. Join us on April 26, 2008 for a day of revelry, games, and possibly a tavern brawl or two!Martial Activities: Lord Jean Maurice le Marinier and his staff are planning rapier and armored combat activities with a tavern theme. More details, including a schedule, will be available on the event's website.
Arts & Sciences Activities: Participate in that oldest of arts—enter our flirting competition! Gaming activities, including a darts tourney, will be run by Mua'allim Rabah az-Zafir and THL Kara in Danska.
