Let the word go forth across the Kingdom of Artemisia that the Shire of Stonegate calls you to gather for a day of wild revelry, romantic noble challenge, and lyrical contest!
In the frost of February, when the earth lies quiet beneath winter’s cloak, we shall kindle the ancient fires of Lupercalia and awaken the stirring spirit of the festival.
Here, warriors and poets alike will take the field… Some armed with sword and shield, others with wit and verse, but all will partake in the sacred rituals of the heart.
The tournaments of Lupercalia will test both valor and passion, where deeds of strength and words of beauty are weighed alike, and the fires of love and courage burn bright in the frost.
The list will echo with the clash of arms as gallant warriors vie for the favor of the populace, each striving to embody the virtues of loyalty, courtesy, and courage. The hall will also ring with the music of voices, in bardic challenge, songs of love…or lust, oaths of fealty, and tales of deeds both bold and tender.
Food will strengthen our bond, uniting hearts as it has through the ages. Our feast will celebrate love in all its forms…across time, culture, and passion.
Bring forth your banners to declare your household, your honor, or your devotion. Wear or bestow favors to proclaim where your heart lies and to inspire those who champion your cause. Let the sight be one of brilliant colors against the winter sky… bold as the hearts that bear them, and wild as the spirit of Lupercalia.
