Hear ye! Hear ye! Unto the populace of Drachenwald does West Dragonshire bid welcome. The summer months are upon us, and the Oak King is waning and the Holly King prepares to take us towards the Autumn and Winter. However, before he does, we of West Dragonshire invite all to participate in a Summer Tourney. Whilst the weather is warm and the sun shines high in the sky, we once again long to hear the clashing of swords on shield and to see the mightiest warriors that our Kingdom has to offer display their prowess in arms and their chivalry on the Tourney field. And the Tourney winner joins an illustrious list of gentles from over the years. A scrumptious feast will be prepared by Lord Raphe Cuthbert, so please contact him with any dietary restrictions. The site offers both camping or bunks. The site is a discretely wet.
