Blackstone Raid XVII 

 April 24th to April 27th 2008

 

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!  The rumors of Midrealm aggression
are true!   For the 17th year, the Midrealm army
intends to invade the southern lands of glorious
Aethelmearc.  Their soldiers intend to take your coal
and test your steel.  We are putting out the call to
our fellow countrymen to come defend the land.

 

We beg the attendance of all heavy weapons fighters
and fencers to repel the foreign hordes. Weapons
masters can display their prowess at the torchlight
bear pit weapons proficiency tourney held Thursday
through Saturday at 10pm. The Midrealm armies will
march upon our soil Saturday at noon.  Fencers will
experience the chance to fight on an actual covered
bridge as well as a roving tournament.  Thrown weapons
and archery shoots will take place on our scenic
archery range. 

Don’t miss the Atl-atl Cattle Battle!  

 

Lady Girlie (Reah Brec) will again be offering her
renowned children’s activities on Saturday afternoon. 
Come see what she has up her sleeve this year.  

 

The site offers ample room for A&S activities.  Please
contact Baroness Rowan le Beau (Jeannie Cress) at
304-722-2200 or rowansca at aol. com if you are
interested in teaching a class.  This is a good place
to try out that class you might want to teach at war. 


An A&S display and artisan forum will be offered on
Saturday as well.
