Please join the Barony of Stromgard in celebrating 25 amazing years as a Barony at our Founding Revel. We'll have a plethora of classes, dancing, multiple bardic performances, and a feast based on the foods of the Amber Road, featuring a bardic showcase. Gold Key will be available for anyone who needs medieval clothing for the day. We'll have a fun "Is It Cake?" competition and a Storytellers' Point for tales of daring deeds, bold adventures and outrageous stories that may or may not have any basis in reality. Come vote for your favorite bard and see if they win fame and recognition during Evening Court.
