Important Event Announcement regarding COVID-19 Safety:
Shire Wars requested a variance to the East Kingdom policy regarding Covid 19 Safety precautions.  The variance was approved by the EK Seneschal to require masks be worn in all indoor locations for Shire Wars X, October 14-16th. 

Join the Western Shires of the East Kingdom for the 10th Annual Shire Wars!  We return this year with an event inspired by the Battle of Baghdadi in 1258 between the Mongol Army, led by Hulagu Khan, and the Abbasid Empire.  The Abbasid Caliphate was the third of the four greatest Muslim caliphates of the Arab Empire.  Points will be awarded to the Mongols or Abbasids in the many competitions and events such as chivalric combat; fencing; archery; and thrown weapons.  Many will be the opportunities for melees and group combat. 

Breakfast and Dayboard will be available on Saturday.
There will be a Feast of Middle Eastern cuisine in the evening.
Breakfast will be available on Sunday.
