Further Event Information:
Their Excellencies Francisco and Margaret encourage all to journey to Darkwood to celebrate Saturnalia. So don your brightly colored tunica and mantles, no working togas here, and join us in festive frivolity. Discover who will become the Sovereign of Misrule, partake in the scrumptious sideboard, dabble in the art of calligraphy, take a spin on the dance floor, and cheer on the slug chariot gladiators or join their ranks yourself. This is a discreetly dry site (i.e., all alcoholic beverage containers must be kept out of sight and taken home with you). Two Separate Bardic Competitions will be held: The annual Bard of the Oak competition and A special bardic competition to find the Official Song of the Barony of Darkwood Visit our webpage to see the guidelines for both bardic competitions and information for all the other competitions and activities planned. https://darkwood.westkingdom.org/baronesses-masked-ball/
