Medieval Love Celebrated; No Casualties

The Barony of Winter's Gate, Oertha--Something was in the air, and yes, it was love in the Barony of Winter’s Gate during the cold month of February.  The populace held a Heart’s Revel in which the two sides of medieval love, the beautiful and the bawdy, were celebrated by members from around the Principality.

Many people from the Principality of Oertha travelled the wintry roads including Alienor, Princess of Oertha, as well as the baronage of both Eskalya and Selviergard.  The hall was filled with many people who traveled far to spend time with family and friends in the Barony of Winter’s Gate and celebrate love.

Upon entering the hall there was a surprise for many; musicians were ready to play a variety of dance music for the assembled populace.   Truly a delight to behold and listen to; these travelers brought with them a variety of musical instruments which many people gathered around to not only listen to and dance but to take part in with instruments of their own.
