# Event Details - **Event Name**: Quest for Wit and Wisdom XLI Hosted by Barony of Settmour Swamp - Pittstown, NJ - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Mon, 25 May, 2026 at 11:00 am (-04:00) - **Event Description**: This spring, the Barony of Settmour Swamp casts off into uncharted waters! In honor of the daring spirit of discovery that shaped the Age of Sail, the 41st Quest for Wit and Wisdom will celebrate the courage of seafarers, merchants, and explorers who braved the vast and unpredictable seas in pursuit of trade, knowledge, and glory. Our encampment will transform into a bustling coastal port—alive with sailors’ tales, merchants’ bargains, and the scent of salt air. Travelers from distant lands arrive to trade wares and chart new routes... but rumors stir of shadowy sails on the horizon, and not all who ply the waves are men of honest coin. MORE DETAILS FOR MARTIAL EVENTS AND ARTS AND SCIENCES TO FOLLOW. A delicious feast will be prepared by Martina Maria de la Rosa. FEAST MENU AND DETAILS WILL BE POSTED SOON.
