Upcoming Events
Here you'll be able to see what events I'm planning on heading to in the relatively near future. This isn't exact, and I'll try to update it when I can, but it should be a relatively reliable way to figure out where I'll be, and when I'll be there!
The Baronial Fighter Practices now rotate between the Barony proper, and each of our Cantons. 1st Sunday of the month, we're in Stormwall, at Pirouettes Dance Academy in Bryson City, from 3-6pm. 3rd Sunday, we're in Haukesgate, at Fae Nectar Meadery in Lake Lure, also from 3-6pm. Remaining Sundays, we meet at Weaver Park (200 Murdock Ave) in Asheville NC, between the pavilion and the baseball field, from 2-6pm. As the Baronial Knight's Marshal, I try to make it a point to be there, as long as I'm not already at another event that weekend.
February 23rd to the 25th
Step with us, if you are brave enough, into a tale woven by Jon Thordson, and Magnus Thorhalson. A story of gods and dwarves, of curses and war, and of lust and mischief.
While watching skilled dwarves create a beautiful necklace, Freya decided that she must have it. She offered riches for it, but the dwarves would only part with it in return for a night with her. Loki found out how Freya acquired her new treasure, and shared his knowledge with Odin. Odin demanded that Loki bring him the necklace or never return.
Loki used his wit and shape shifting ability to sneak into Freya’s room as she slept, steal the necklace, and deliver it to Odin. Upon waking and discovering her necklace missing, Freya went to Odin. Odin confronted her about how she had paid for the necklace, and vowed that she may only have it back on one condition. She must enchant two kings with 20 subordinate kings each to battle and die every day only to rise and fight every morning.
Two armies were cursed to battle until they were slain by a Christian army. They fought and died every day for 143 years. Finally, King Olaf Tryggvason sent Ivar Gleambright to the fray. Ivar slew the forces and returned to the king. When the king arrived at the battlefield, everyone and everything had vanished. Only the blood on Ivar’s sword testified to what had taken place.
So, join us in our tale. Create beauty with the Dwarves, or battle with the armies. Be ever cautious, though, for where Loki is found…
Mischief Follows!
More to come! May 10th to the 12th, Old Fort NC. Come vie to replace me as Baronial Rapier Champion!
Pennsic 51, just north of Pittsburgh PA. This will be my 2nd Pennsic, and we'll be there from August 1st through to the 11th, camping with Grimmsfield and Honey Badger again. Fighting, classes, camping, more fighting, shopping, parties, more fighting... It's going to be a blast.
