White Shield Tournament and Feast

Barony of Darkwood (Tres Pinos, CA)

Join us as we venture to the enlightened lands of the Iberian Peninsula – a vast array of cultures and religions working closely together, sometimes for, and sometimes against one another. The theme for the day is Alphonse X, Book of Games. There will be a live chess match, games at dinner, and many activities throughout the day.

We wish to touch on but a few of the many outstanding dishes and drinks that would have been found in the region, from the various backgrounds. It will be an evening of delightful dishes and games for all.

The List will open at 9:30 a.m. Armor inspection should start at 10:00 a.m., with Invocation starting at 10:30 a.m. and the melee following. There will be heavy, rapier and children's tournaments. More information, including the tentative menu, will be on the Barony of Darkwood website.
