Greetings, one and all!
The Barony Beyond the Mountain and the Barony of Bergental bid you all welcome, and invite one and all to celebrate the magic of this Yule season in fine company.
Let the warmth of our NEW hall in Barony Beyond the Mountain lift your spirits with many an activity to brighten these short days and long nights. By day there will be a delicious repast, martial and peaceful activities alike, music, games, holiday shopping, ceremony, and respite. By evening we will continue the merriment with court, followed by our traditional Yule Ceremonies and feast. This year hearthside meeting space is available for the Kingdom’s Guilds and Colleges by advance reservation. It is our hope to kindle several bright sparks of inspiration across these lands as plentiful as stars across the winter sky. Please contact the Event Steward for scheduling!
Their Excellencies of the Barony Beyond the Mountain and Bergental are calling for a court of color and would be delighted by seeing all arrayed in their finery of GREEN and BURGUNDY.
