Seven Hills Skirmishes II

Saturday March 23, 2013

As the first breaths of spring winds cut through the valleys, we are
reminded of the approach of summer. With the green fields and bright
days comes WAR!

The monarchs of Atlantia have called for Their army to train at arms
and Their people to sharpen their skills in preparation for Pennsic
War. The Canton of Seven Hills has heard Their Majesties call and
answered.
