🛡️ Tavern at the Crossroads presents: Warriors' Warren
A night of daring feats, fierce rivalry, and hard-earned glory — with ale
July 11, July 18 | 4 PM – 7 PM | Hayward, CA
Warriors’ Warren is a tavern event like no other—open to all taverners new and old. On this day, the Realm itself shall tremble as Fiefs clash for glory, territory, and eternal renown. Some will rise victorious, their banners blazing; others… will fade into the footnotes of history.On the day itself, bannerfolk will test their mettle in daring feats and fierce challenges, deciding the fate of their fiefs. Every triumph, clever maneuver, and act of courage will shape the ongoing conflict within the Realm. At the conclusion, the fief with the mightiest showing will claim a grand prize—and eternal bragging rights.But make no mistake—Warriors’ Warren is still, at its heart, a tavern. Come for the competition, stay for the homebrewed ale, fresh sourdough, and a hearty meal shared among good company.

- Fief-based team competition — join a side, earn your glory
- Homebrewed ales, mead, and tavern drinks — all made in-house by your hosts

- Music, laughter, and the particular satisfaction of watching your rivals lose
Costume and adornment encouraged, never required.
🧭 The CompetitonOur hand-designed 6×4ft Realm Map — unlocked as a seasonal reward at the Beltane Bounty — makes its debut at Warriors' Warren. The map lays out the regions up for conquest, and every taverner can play a part: earn territory for your Fief, shift the balance of power, and leave your mark on the Realm.
For those who wish their best chance of success, we recommend having Fief representation at both events, rather than consolidated into one. However, the choice is yours.

🕑: 05:00 PM - 06:00 PM
The Feasting Hour and Opening Moves
Info: Settle in as hearty tavern fare is laid out across the tables — seasoned meats, garden vegetables, and warm loaves torn and shared among friends and strangers alike. Raise a cup, trade tales, and savor a meal made for camaraderie. But keep your wits about you: this is also when the competition begins in earnest. Fiefs will make their first moves before the plates are cleared — so fill your belly, read the room, and choose your moment.
🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
The Rousing Hour
Info: The blades are sheathed. The banners rest. And the tavern, as it always does, has the final word. The last hour belongs to everyone — victors and rivals raising cups together, tales traded freely, and the easy warmth that only comes after a night well spent. However the contest fell, we leave as we arrived: as taverners, as neighbors, as friends.
