VIRTUAL-Bright Hills Baronial Birthday
(2022-02-12 - Site opens at 12:00 PM & Closes at 5:00 PM)
Bright Hills

As our intrepid band raised their steins to their last toast for their new adventure, the very earth did open and the giants came forth and did stomp the ground till all passes and venues were closed.. As the onslaught commenced, our band of intrepid adventurer’s did take stock of their libations and decided the warmth of the wine was better than the cold of mountain tops.
With no where to turn and much feasting and drinking to do, we put our quest for Adventure on hold.  But only physically for you cannot keep a rowdy group, such as they are, from their entertainments and humorous natures.   We have songs yet to discover and tales that require… embellishments.  There will be adventures for the eyes as we take in all the lovely frocks and gilded works,that our artists have prepared. Our ears will be entertained by the music and song of our bards. Classes to enrich our minds and souls. So join our hall of rowdy rabble and see what titillating tidbits and curiosities we may have available for your virtual pleasure.
While we wait for the roads to open, we shall take the time to learn more about our presumed adversaries, fine tune our weapons and…. Wait a second…. Why is the wine running out faster than it should…?!?!?!

This time next year…   THE QUEST BEGINS ANEW!

A&S Champion Challenge:

In the Dolmite Alps of South Tyrol, legends tell of the Dwarf King Laurin and his magical Rose Garden, which lay in front of the entranceway to his underground Crystal Castle.

The roses were beautiful and smelled magnificent, but King Laurin guarded his roses and anyone caught stealing would lose a hand or foot! For our Arts and Sciences Competition, we ask you to showcase an element of King Laurin and his garden. Entries can be in any medium. Here is one of many links to help you begin your adventure.
