We are gathering to fight the monsters of medieval folklore - Goblins, Ghouls, and Ghosts, as well as Fae and other nightmares.
There will be competitions and challenges to fight the monsters. In the Middle Ages, heroes often used games to defeat them, so we will also celebrate with gaming! Bring your medieval games to join in!
This event will be heavily newcomer-focused to introduce new folks to the SCA, and also feature activities inspired by everybody's favorite modern roleplaying games.
