Continuity, but we will get back to that… Each year the Eventholders for Blackwood
Tournaments put together a unique event with things to do for the whole
family.
Friday starts with some light
questing and hang-out time.
Saturday
begins with a Grand Melee to determine the Generals, who then choose their teams
schoolyard style. Like years past, there
will be a combination of team and individual battles with some new fights as
well as plenty of tournaments for those who don’t swing a sword. While this is
going on, there is the option for the kids to be off questing and saving the
Realms from evils far greater than you’ve ever seen. After a solid day of fighting there will an In-Character
dinner, Bardics and a Poker Tournament. When
the sun goes down, grab the kids and watch the pyrotechnic display which will
light up the sky for the whole family to enjoy.
After the smoke clears, there will a quest for those brave of heart to
venture forth and continue fighting those evils that plague our lands.
Sunday will have continued tournaments and
will end with the naming of this year’s winning general.
Continuity,
that “C” word our game has needed for a long time. The EH staff from Blackwood and Folkestone
have combined their years of event-throwing talents and are working together to
bring you just that. Those of you who
were at N/S this year may recognize some familiar faces. It is rumored that His Excellency, Nertail, will
be attending the Dinner. It is also rumored
that others from New Verai, including a High Priestess or two, will be there as
well, some even fighting alongside you in the tournaments as you support your
General.
