Tourney: Heavy Weapons / Two exciting tourneys for your enjoyment, coordinated by Lord Forrester in the barn.
Fighters, have you ever wanted to portray heroic, adventurous figures from history and literature? Have you ever wanted to fight as King Arthur, William Wallace, Ghengis Khan, Joan of Arc, or Attila the Hun? NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! Want more details? Sorry, you'll just have to be there, but let's just say you'll need the luck of the Irish on your side when you draw that card…
And as if that wasn't enough, in light of our celebration, there will be an Irish Pub Brawl as well!
