The cold of winter is firmly upon us and rumours abound that their most Royal Majesties will be leaving the kingdom in the hands of their heirs, whilst they seek warmer climes and engage in diplomacy with other kingdoms. With the King and Queen absent the Barons see an opportunity to expand their fief. Already stalwart Ben Dunfirth has placed agents inside the borders of the Western Shires. They appear to be preparing to lay claim to the lands where the great trade roads from the Shires fork.
Western spies have learned that the crafty Baron of Ramshaven is not to be outmaneuvered and already he has bespoke his champions and his Red Knight to prepare his light and heavy forces to counter The Great Boar to the South.
The Western Shires will not stand for this! We hold these lands in the name of their Royal Majesties, as was laid out in treaties decades ago. The avarice of these Barons will not be overlooked. We call upon our warriors to form up and and march to meet these mighty foes who lay false claim to our lands. We also beseech others in the Kingdom, loyal to their majesties, to join us to push back against this uprising and prevent the Barons from taking what is not rightfully theirs!
Join us and we will stand fast against the advance of Boar and Ram. We can intercept these armies on the 8th of March, and protect these territories until their Majesties return and restore order to their lands.
Fees: $25.00 members, $35.00 non members, Youth 17 and under free.

Combat
Both Fencing and Armoured combatants will join one of three Factions, Ramshaven, Ben Dunfirth or the Western Shires. Other Baronies, Shires, Households and independents are free to negotiate with the three factions to choose their side. For everyone’s enjoyment we would like to try to keep the three armies at fairly equal strength. There will be numerous scenarios throughout the day, both for melee and individual combats. More details will be released as we get closer to the event.
