War

Dry and barren, the fields and fen of Artemisia lie fallow. Dangerous and Uncultivated. Silent. No song to grace the ears of our poor kinsmen to the East.

Gather warriors! Gather Bards! Gather Artists! Gather all good people of An Tir!  Raise great War Bands and join the battle of our Eastern Borders, to drive away enemies and make merry with those seeking respite in the shade of tall pines, beside cool waters, safely away from bandits and ruffians who roam the wild lands. Let An Tir bring these wilds under our protection, and sew great fields of beautiful lentils for the prosperity of All!

Camp Easton will host us once again on the shores of Lake Coeur D’Alene. War points will be awarded for all activities which include, but are not limited to: Heavy fighting, rapier fighting, Arts and Sciences competition, Bardic, volunteer opportunities and water bearing, youth activities, and classes. Archery may be available if camping space allows.
