The Vikings are coming to Blak Rose! 

We are planning a day of all things Viking. 

Fighters will be taking part in a variation of the Viking Holmgang style tournament.  First blood is the name of the game in this confined space tournament.  Any good hit is counted as a kill with each fighter getting 3 kills per round.  The tournament will either be round robin or double elimination depending on the number of fighters.  The winner of the tournement will receive 2 high table seats to the feast!

Archers, Help defend the shire from the Viking Raiders!  The competition will consist of a woods walk ending with a stockade defense.  The archery trail is handicapped and wheelchair accessible.
