Feast of Blackwood is one of the events I always make sure to mark off on my calendar to make sure to attend. The staff are always excellent and put forward an excellent story.
I am excited for this year being on a new site, and with it, bringing a fresh perspective on the event. I am looking forward to venturing once more into the Lands of Domai to assist the people there with their problems. Last year we assisted The Avatar of the Breaking to discover the problems with a group we discovered to be The Silence. I won’t get too far into that, and let people make their own decisions and discoveries this weekend. The staff do an amazing job of making the world immersive and approachable.
This is a great weekend for anyone looking for some fun questing, good friends, and of course the feast on Sunday, where I always look forward to Blackwood Meatloaf. The food is always excellent and I am sure we will have an excellent feast alongside Court.
This year there will be a special Bardic Tournament hosted by Sir Pilpus and Sir Kara! I look forward to hearing all the submissions before Court. The Stacked Deck will also be running a poker tournament as well, for those interested in that.
I look forward to seeing you all this weekend at Feast of Blackwood!

Why I want to go to Feast of Blackwood (The liberation of the silence?)
Hello fair folk of the realms, Dresden O’Leary Esq. here – just your humble N’editor-N-Chief, and greatest attorney in all the realms (I assume…does anyone else out there offer legal aid?)
You may be asking me, “Dresden where have you been? I got hit by a cart through no fault of my own and am owed compensation!” Truly friends, I am sorry, but I have had quite the season. SPEAKING OF SEASONS! You all know about this upcoming weeks’ end, yes? BLACKWOOD IS BACK (WOOD) and I am excited to dig further into the mysterious and always in season lands of Domai! Ever since last year, I have been getting scrolls sent to me about how for only 1 silver a day I can sponsor a Silent refugee. I figured, I’ll do better than that – I will make my way up there and eat all their foo… deliver JUSTICE! And WRITE ABOUT IT!
I know the king of summer has been kingnapped, I know Spring seems to be the culprit, and I know that if balance is not maintained between the seasons, there could be grand apocalyptic event. I suspect a great many things hang in the balance.
Blackwood is always a great time, with great gambling (so I hear, Lord Syruss won’t let me gamble after losing my hat that one time – far worse than it sounds), great food (Meatloaf) and a level of chaos and injustice that just tugs at these heartstrings.
You should all be going this weekend, but to add to the incentive. The first 3 people going to bring me this missive at the event proper will each a get personal puff piece written by yours truly, all about your exploits in the lands of blackwood and beyond.
