[Moo] Defending the Gate -- Saturday, March 27, 2010

[Laurie Clarkston]

Winter holds its grip on the fertile lands of Stierbach.  The people of the Canton of Sudentorre sit warm by their fires and plan for the Spring and its celebrations when friend can meet friend again and old alliances can be renewed.  Not a moment too late!  Rumors of war have spread throughout the taverns and hearths and cause Sudentorre to wonder if friends and allies can be counted on again to stand with them when the drums of war grow louder and cannot be ignored.  Come and find yourselves standing shoulder to shoulder with our heroes and champions to bring glory upon yourselves and your children's children during a day a festivities to welcome spring and activities to also hone our skills against those who would stand against us.  Come once again and be part of Defending the Gate.
