Come get yer' WAR on! Tired of all those other fighting events just having scenarios for an hour and then having to go sit down and wait? Tired of the Fog of Battle only lasting for 15 minutes? Then you obviously haven't been to a Wargy have you?

Only in Dragonsspine, the land that is merciful to its invited visitors and harsh to its unexpected in-laws, could an event so devious arise from! For one day only, the sun will be held back from setting. For one day only, the blood will never stop flowing. Yes, Wargy will have enough fighting to make you drool, but battles long enough to make you cry. Come experience a day long resurrection battle. Come experience fighting so tough, it will break even the hardest of the hard core.

Wargy will be offering some of the most unique circumstances ever seen in this Kingdom. Are you a heavy fighter and just want to kill antenna boys? Are you a rapier fighter who wants to embarrass a stick jock? Then you will have your chance today! For three armies will combine of both heavy and light fighters to take hold of the four islands that wait. As the day progresses, the fighting will not only become more tiresome, but more challenging as well. My co-Autocrats, Master Dane and Sir Frederick, have some evil tricks up their sleeves that will bring you to your knees.

The fighting will not stop until the whistle blows, so at 10:00am until then, you better be ready. Anyone kill anyone in 30 seconds, can you do it after 3 hours? Come get yer' WAR on, for this will be a full-on Wargy to make you have both dreams and nightmares.

The field will be occupied by both heavy and light fighters at the same time to partake in several objectives. More information on this will be provided soon.

In general, there will be three armies consisting of both Heavy and Light fighters. Their objectives will be to gain control of as many islands as possible. There will be four islands that will be able to reached via schooner and barge. Bridges will be able to be "built" to connect the islands.

At the beginnging of the day, the islands will be mostly bear except one, which will have "supplies" that can be brought to each island to allow it to be "fortified" and allow for easier movement between islands as the Wargy goes on. These objects will be built by both the fighters and the Wargy staff to constantly keep the fighters on their toes to allow not only large amounts of fighting, but also constant strategic and leadership challenges. Bridges and fortifications can be deconstructed by an island's controlling army and then used however they deem necessary.

For heavy fighters, there is no limit to the toys you can use as long as they are not designed to leave your hands. For light fighters, matched epee or schlager will be observed.

As the fighting will be going all day long, not only will the leaders have to manage their strategy, but also that of their army's stamina. Waterbearing stations will surround the field.
