As the leaves fall from the trees and the nights grow short and chill - something stirs in the mountains. Could it be? Could the stories be true? Yes! The old-timers say that the Hawkwood Howl is returning and we know they?re always right! Please join the denizens of the Barony of Hawkwood for a weekend full of fun and fright. You never know what might happen when the Hawkwood Howl returns!
The Autumn days in Hawkwood can be quite magical, so to honor that
The year is 146O. It has been a good year and the shire harvest has been bountiful. But danger threatens. The Act of Accord has been passed by parliament naming Edward, Duke of York as the rightful heir to the thrown. Queen Margaret is marching south with her Scottish recruits determined to protect her son's interests. Her hungry army has been promised unlimited plunder and the Shire residents face starvation. Who will Protect them? Who will Defend them? The townspeople offer a great prize to the champions who step forward!
Swiftly autumn is coming upon us, the forbearer of winter's chills. We must stock up our storehouses against the cold months ahead - the time for the Great Hunt is nigh!
