Description:
Pilgrimages were arduous undertakings in the Middle
Ages. There were many reasons to go on a pilgrimage: to atone for
your sins, to honor the memory of a loved one, escape persecution, or simply
because all the cool kids were doing it. Failure to extend hospitality to
pilgrims was considered a grievous sin! Please join the Barony of
Lochmere as we extend hospitality to all pilgrims on their way to 3 major
pilgrimage sites: Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Rome (Italy), and
Jerusalem (Middle East). Regardless of your destination or level of
piety, there will be feasting, dancing, singing, classes, games, Arts and
Sciences displays and competitions more than sufficient to nourish your body
and your mind!

but 10 points will be added for each pilgrimage your item can be specifically
