Greetings one and all, please join us as the
Baronies of Adiantum and Terra Pomaria  meet on the field of
not quite combat to hammer out their differences in their ongoing
feud over… well we don’t really know what it’s
over but who cares! We’ll have a ton of fun fighting and
competing over whatever it is anyway. Read on for more info!

Site fees:
Adults 18+:$10
NMS applies
Children and Youths 17 and under: free

There will be heavy fighting all day with team
battles, field battles, tourneys and one on one challenges, Rapier
fighting on both war and tourney fields as well as Archery, Thrown
weapons, Arts and Science contests, Games, Bardic, Service and so
much more.

Come watch the “Ultimate Baron”
contest as Baron Pader and Baron Durin compete in a day long
non-stop contest to see who is the mightier (or who collapses
first). And there will even be Children’s Siege battles to
knock down towers for war points.

If you do not reside in one of the two feuding
Baronies feel free to join us anyway, as any war point you win (and
there are many to win) we must schmooze you to try and gain your
points.

And did I mention the gambling? Yes
Gambling!

That’s right, war points may be gambled
with like coin. Every person receives 5 points at gate and may earn
more thru contest and they may be used to bet on anything and
everything. There will even be a tavern hall at night with games of
chance (see schedule under “Luky Loki” for
hours).

That’s right this just may be the first
ever period correct war (and by period I mean that you can
literally buy victory.)

So come and join us in Adiantum August
8^th – 10^th for our Aggressive
Negotiations and have all the fun money can buy.

As an extra bit of

Largesse for War
Points, you say? It is true. If you have largesse to donate, you

learn to make wire wrapped pendants with Ciara?) and earn War
Points for your Volunteer hours!

Largess can be
turned it at Arts & Sciences (classes area) for war points.
