Highland River Melees
(2022-05-14 - Site opens at 8:00 AM & Closes at 10:00 PM)
Highland Foorde
Join the Barony of Highland Foorde for our first Highland River Melees in a few years! We return to the verdant forests of the barony with delight, for we have quite the variety of activities and diversions planned for all who join us. Whether you prefer the exertion of martial activities, or would rather repose with more gentle Arts and Sciences, we have something for you. Whether you spend your day in the forest fighting for your honor or learning with the Forestry Guild, we hope you stay for the culmination of the day: our feast! All planned activities are Shakespearean in nature, so be inspired by the bard himself!
