Come one, come all, to the glorious Western Raids! Join us as we celebrate the arrival of winter on our fair, sun-drenched western shores...what can you expect?
Feasting! A nourishing soup dinner for travellers from afar, the riotous delight for all the senses that is our Village Green markets - browse a variety of food stalls, haggle for the best price or pop into the Dragon's Quest tavern for a restorative tankard of lemonade - and take your taste buds on a journey through the annals of history at a splendid celebratory feast!
Fighting! For alas, how can we have civilisation without conflict? Beware, the borders are uneasy, raiding parties are not out of the question...enjoy assorted rapier and heavy combat ranging from epic melees on the warfield, as we struggle to defend our lands, to splendid tournaments, featuring all the pageantry we love, to commemorate our victory over the unwashed hordes (let's hope!).
Shopping! The Village Green will also host a veritable bazaar of market stalls for your perusal, ranging from exotic delights brought from far-off places (via slow camel train, one assumes) to local specialities and works of art created by the skilled craftspeople of the west.
Entertainment! Shimmering firelight glimmering off the frost crystals - such an atmosphere can hardly fail to attract the Muse. Enjoy a memorable Bardic circle, lively musical entertainment and epic tales from far-off times and places, dancing and vigorous contests of strength and skill - I guarantee you've never seen tug-of-war like it!
Arts and Sciences! Share your knowledge and bask in the wisdom of your colleagues. You can expect a variety of enthralling classes on all manner of skills, as well as opportunities to expose your completed masterpieces to the admiration of the masses.
Archery! Night shoots with glimmering arrows creating a rainbow in the starlight, daytime contests to determine who has the steadiest hand and the keenest eye, apples on the heads of children...no! wait! wrong story! Apples and monster heads to be shot by the children...is that better?? And, while I think of it...
Children's entertainment! The younger members of your household can enjoy a full schedule of activities ranging from arts and sciences and archery through boffer fighting, books and board games to musical entertainment from the famous Viggly Viking Virtuosos (here's a hint: there's a Blue Viking, a Red Viking, a Yellow Viking and a Purple Viking...so I hear...)!
Camping and good company!
What better opportunity to hang out with your friends, comrades you have not seen for an age, and dear companions you're just about to meet? Come, load up your baggage train and join us on the verdant grasslands of Wandi (honestly, we're about due for a dry year, it will be FINE!)...
