Roman Games and Dagger Tournaments; Caesar Approved

The Barony of Selviergard, Oertha--The Barony of Selviergard once again celebrated the Ides of March this year with togas, dagger tournaments, and gambling games. The event, autocrated by Mistress Rolynnda of the Azure Stone, garnered many people from around the Principality to attend the first Selviergardian event held this year. Many of the participants dressed in Roman clothing to celebrate the day noted by the haruspex Spurinna that the great Julius Caesar should be wary of.

But only Caesar should have been wary of this day, not the populace who came out to partake in the
activity. The event opened with people getting themselves set up in the main room by arraigning tables around the main hall where the fighting would take place later on in the day. Tables were colorfully decorated and laden with snacks in preparation for the event’s different activities.
