If an event hits a five year mark, that says something. This year we see Feast of Blackwood celebrate its 5th anniversary, and thats a pretty great sign.
Every year, I hear tales of the fantastic and plentiful food, who beat who in the tourneys (which count to your Order of the List points, by the way) and even questing. Seriously, how could you fir more into a weekend?
Lets add a casino, run by folks who really have a wonderful grasp on how to get your gold from you. Or, if you are clever enough, you can leave with a new fortune. Blackwood also has a great handle on how to run auctions. Rumor has it there is more than one auction, so bring your gold, and be ready to shop!
Plot, food, fighting AND shopping? You know I want to go!
