The long sleep of winter is leaving the lands and the drums of war are sounding in the hills. The cycle continues yet again in the humble Barony of Blackstone Mountain, as the Kingdom of the Middle again marches forth across our fair borders in search of the mystical black rocks that are necessary for strong steel.

As the great wheel of time rolls on, it has arrived the season for Their Majesties to step down and Their Highnesses to take the thrones. Their Highnesses have invited all in the land to come join the festivities of their coronation and defense of glorious AEthelmearc.
