Summer Welcomed with Battles and Bardics

The Barony of Selviergard, Oertha--The Barony of Selviergard hosted their official Spring welcome with a grand camping event.  Spring Offensive, the traditional celebration of the season and the birthday of the Barony, was well attended by over sixty people from all over the Principality and even some from other kingdoms.  Held in the scenic Lake Lucille Campground in Central Selviergard; the three-day event held on Memorial Day Weekend had something for everyone who attended.  No matter if you liked to fight in epic battles, partake in bardic well into the night, or just enjoyed spending time with family and friends the Autocrats had you covered at Selviergard’s Spring Offensive.

Many travelers who would camp for the spectacular weekend arrived on Friday night.  While space was at a premium the populace who were camping were found room around the site.  Campsites and pavilions went up rather quickly with many hands making the work easier.  The beautiful display of a variety of different pavilions and tents lent to the medieval atmosphere that the Autocrats had so much desired.

After the tents were set up, the bardic fire was attended by many.

Saturday morning brought the vast majority of the events activities, such as the Siege of Paris and fighting classes.  The sun shone quite brightly as the fighters armored up and prepared themselves for the upcoming hours of intense battles.  Three fighters took the opportunity to get authorized as well, including Baron Braun of Winter’s Gate, Lady Talorc Caer Arianrhold, and Connor Ulfsson of Eskalya.
