Honor War

The season of war approaches again! Honor War returns to the
same site as last year, Silcott Island on the Snake River. As the
Sun begins to warm the land, armies march along the Snake River and
across the fields of Lyonsmarche seeking to lay claim to the
bountiful harvests of Lyonsmarche. Come to test you’re your
skill and earn your share of the fabled lentils of
Lyonsmarche.

Unfortunately, roving brigands have also cast a greedy eye at
our new encampments, and thus do we call for aid from our Great
Neighbors, those brave souls of the Inlands!  Ties of old call
to the Baronies of Wastekeep and Wealdsmere, as well as good
cousins throughout the lands, to come to our aid, and a share of
our bounty.  Fighting and food, merry-making and mead!
 Let us all protect these lands of our Great King and Queen
from the foul highwaymen.
