When the snow flurries of the North whip their way over the East, almost everything stops. People hole up against the wind, cold and snow. Warriors put up weapons and repair their armor, crafters take up there tools, and children warm up by the fires. Such is the way of life.
But wait! One tiny Barony in the center of the Kingdom holds out against the Winter, personified as the dreaded Weasel of Ice! No matter the wind, no matter the cold, no matter the snow, the Barony of Smoking Rocks has will hold it’s infamous Ice Weasel Bear Pit Tournament. While other Tournaments have moved the list field indoors, or rescheduled in the Spring, Smoking Rocks hasn’t learned!! All are welcome to battle in the cold and snow for the title of Lord Protector of Smoking Rocks and stand among the barony Champions!
For those that brave the snows but prefer to stay warm in the halls, there will be food, drink, and laughter. The Famous Hoof & Mouth Tavern will have a selection of hot foods to enjoy throughout the day. Show off your musical or storytelling talents and compete for the title of Bardic Champion.
To support and uplift the artisans and research enthusiasts of our great barony our Arts and Sciences champion will be hosting a Display from 11am-3pm. Due to site restrictions we are unable to allow any food or beverage items at this time. Any questions can be directed to Octavia Verita at 262218@members.eastkingdom.org
Classes will also be held on a variety of topics.
