[Ponte Alto] St. Aiden's Melee Muster - this weekend.

[AbelofRegnesfolc]

Saturday, May 9

We have sacrificed to the thunder-gods-of-your-choice and any rain 
should end by 8am with sun and temperatures in the 70s for the rest of 
the day. There are covered areas for singles fighting if needed.

Heroic warriors, prepare for a day of glory, battle, blood, and fun!

The Order of St. Aiden has teamed with the generous Barony of Storvik, 
Jewel of Atlantia, to host a day of melee combat to prepare the Kingdom 
for our summer campaigns.

Bring your band of brothers and test them against the Order of St. 
Aiden, for they will accept all open field challenges.

The simple plan for the day will be melee, melee and more melee:
10:00am - Noon: MOL & Authorizations. All weapons forms including Combat 
Archery and Siege.

will be open, with hot soup and many fighter friendly treats (ie "food 
you can fit through the slot of your helm") that will be served 
sideboard style throughout the day. Prepared by Sayyida Ysoria Baska, 
Known as the Depraved (Amy Baska), it is sure to satisfy the most
