You shame your noble King with your winter's lethargy. While Atlantia's foes
tilt at rings, you have wintered by your hearthsides growing soft on rude tales
and mulled wine. <br>
<br>
Enough! Arise and shake off the rust of these past frigid months. Sound the
battle horn and muster again. Let all the banners of the north fly and fan our
hearts to acts worthy of song. <br>
<br>
The Barony of Ponte Alto is proud to present a day that will be sure to satisfy
even the most bloodthirsty fighter. <br>
<br>
We will host our annual St. Paddy's Day Bloodbath on Saturday, March 11th. This
is event is a fighter's dream, featuring our usual bearpit tourney and as many
pickups as you can stomach. Remember, This is for both light and heavy
fighters, however this year we will also be adding youth combat to the
schedule! Light fare will be served, and is included in the site fee. Lunch
will be served by by Countess Denise Duvalier and Lady Branwen Bach. Lite
Fare will consist of beef stew, cheese, bread, pepperoni slices and an
apple/pear dessert. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
