Silver Desert Championship (Fallon, NV)

Unto all the populace of The West and Cynagua, the Province of Silver Desert invites one and all to come test their skills in a variety of skill challenges with the hopes of becoming the Champion of Silver Desert!

Armored and non-Armored compete with equal vigor and chance to win the greatest prize east of the Sierra Nevadas and West of the Outlands *! We know that you are bored with the usual tournaments and contests, so make the journey East and you won’t be disappointed!

At the end of the day, come revel and feast as we celebrate our new Champion! Enjoy foods of the Iberian Peninsula and some treats from our trading partners throughout the World.*(There are only two active branches out here in the sticks and both will be working together on this event! Please plan on coming...Please...Please...Please)
