The call echoes across the land, the Barony of Aquaterra bids the loyal houses of An Tir to raise their banners!
Gather your bands and rally your house to compete in archery, arts & sciences, thrown weapons, bardic, rapier, heraldry, heavy combat, and more! We are asking houses to raise their banners and commit their members to our various activities to earn war points toward the Great War Chest.
Houses will declare their intent to vie for the Great War Chest at morning court on Saturday, September 21st. No house? No problem! Bid, barter and bribe competing houses for war points that you earn.
In the Barony of Aquaterra, the Great Banner War has erupted, shattering the fragile peace that has reigned for nigh a year. Noble houses, each adorned with their heraldic symbols of power and lineage, now clash in a tumultuous struggle for supremacy. As banners unfurl atop ancient keeps and across battlefields stained with the echoes of history, alliances are forged and broken, ambitions kindled and dashed. Heroes rise from obscurity, wielding sword and strategy in equal measure, while the fate of kingdoms hangs in the balance. In this crucible of honor and treachery, only one house will ultimately claim the right to rule, while others fade into the annals of legend.
Come join us in the beautiful Masonic Family Park in Granite Falls September 20-22, 2024 for a wonderful event full of chances and challenges to earn war points for your banner with the winners claiming the Great War Chest!
