*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. Rumors
have now reached the ears of His Majesty Michael and His Highness
Ragnarr that war will rage yet again between the Kingdoms of the East
and the Middle. As we gear up to again take up arms in support of our
Sovereigns, we look to find solace while we can. We look to the
Wastelands...an oasis in the heart of our fair lands, a meeting place
for the fierce enemies and loyal friends alike to gather in peace for a
day of tournament, feasting, and fun.
*Martial Activities:*
For those who are martially inclined, there are scenarios planned for
heavy fighting, rapier, and target archery...a day of competition for
everyone:
*Heavy activities will include a 3 man bear-pit tourney, with only one
Knight per team*. For further information; please contact Baron Marc
d'Aubigny at dgreen7 at bellsouth.net
<mailto:marshal at hindscroft.atlantia.sca.org> for more information.
For Archery information, please contact Elys Storm at
