Below the Salt
(2007-05-11 - 2007-05-13 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 10 AM)
Baelfire Dunn

Welcome again to BELOW THE SALT!! As some of you have indeed realized we have had a mild winter. Due to this, the resident wolf population has flourished in the Canton of Baelfire Dunn! These animals are getting into all manner of trouble attacking sheep and livestock across our lands! So in order to clean our beloved canton of their scourge, we are inviting everyone to come out for a WOLF HUNT!!

Martial Activities: Prizes for the days tourney will be hand-painted mugs for both heavy and rapier! Archers are welcome! And for the winner of the archery shoot we will also be presenting a hand-painted goblet! In addition to the heavy and rapier tourney we have a scenario planned in the spirit of Golden Moon. This scenario will utilize stuffed sheep for points with both attackers and defenders battling to rescue the little buggars from the enemy!

Arts & Sciences Activities: Once again we will be having our infamous brewing competition! Grab your favorite beverage and see how it measures up against the superb brews of the rest of the Canton! The winner will receive a hand-painted goblet! And by popular demand we will once again be having the Peasant Fashion Show! Once again, points will be awarded for dirt, but will be deducted for particularly offensive smells!
