Windmasters' Hill
In 1455, Baron Gaston of Windmasters' Hill traveled on a diplomatic visit to Barcelona. Here, he and his inspiration, Baroness Rosalind Delamere, have declared that they and their chosen Tenans will defend the Mysterious Forest from all Venans (Challengers). In the Barony of Windmasters' Hill on the 14th day of June, shall the lists be erected with a pine tree with golden fir cones on one end.Their Excellencies invite all Challengers (rapier and armoured) to a Grand Pas. Friday night the celebrations will begin with a Torchlight Ball. For, if you do not yet have a consort, here might you find one.
After the day breaks on Saturday, those who participate in rapier combat shall challenge one another in a tournament followed by a Grand Melee. There shall then be a respite and then those of armoured skill will take their place upon the field and prove their worthiness prior to to a Grand Melee.
All will be followed by a sumptuous feast in the evening. Additionally, we invite those of artistic inclination to share their work and join us for various activities, including an Artisan's Row.
