The Barony of Highland Foorde

Once again there is cause for Sacred Stone and Black Diamond to meet on the fields of Elchinburg Castle to seek resolution to conflict. With the help of their friends they will strive to settle their differences through artistic, scientific, heraldic and martial competitions.

Beginning on Friday afternoon there will be tournaments, chess games, targets for arrow, axe and knife, stories and song, cavalry games, coursing of hound and food. On Saturday comes the main activities beginning with the Grand Heraldic Declaration Procession followed by full out melees and town battles for sword, spear, rapier, schlager, items of great beauty, drink of fine taste, classes, companionship, more stories and song and so much more.

Your presence is requested as the event will be less for your absence.
