Wastelands
June 23-25, 2006

In the past months, we have seen war rage in the Kingdom of Gleann
Abhann. We celebrated great victories and mourned our losses. In
the upcoming months, rumors are that war will rage yet again between
the Kingdoms of the East and the Middle. As we gear up to again take
up arms against our foes, we look to find solace where we can. We
look to the Wastelands…an oasis in the heart of our fair lands, a
meeting place for the fiercest of enemies to gather in peace for a
day of tournament, feasting, and fun.
