Why I Want to Go - North/South War 2012

North/South War 2012
June 9, 2012 (Saturday 12pm) - June 10, 2012 (Sunday 5pm)

[Disclaimer: the author of this article is a member of the staff for this event.]

Many consider this event to be one of the cornerstones of the eventing season. It brings together the Realms, splits them into two teams and then has them beat each other up for the weekend. The event tends to drive the players more so than other events; you will be tired after the day's fighting. As a change of pace, this year we will be continuing the tourneys into the night (after a suitable dinner break). This will allow us to once again run some squad fights on Sunday (Pinwheel of Doom ftw). Last year the South won the overall weekend; who will win this year?

If you have never been to the site before it has a wonderful tavern area and a wide open tourney field of grass. There are also showers and other amenities available for event goers. This year Panther's Inn will be open again for those who are looking for some extra activity after the evening's fighting. The Order of List will be hosting some tourneys at Panther's Inn as well. In addition, Katanja's Kitchen will be serving up breakfast on Sunday morning; if you have never partaken of the kitchen in the past you have missed some excellent food (the Kitchen requires real world cash but the cost is very low).
