Good Gentles All; You are most cordially invited to our humble Keep for an evening of Dance, Game, Song, Cooking, and Sport. We welcome all faiths and nationalities, with activities throughout our evening inspired by both mother Europe and the exotic East. Though the Holy Lands have grown more tumultuous following the first crusade, we are confident that our strong walls will keep us safe. Even if we should fall under attack, our pleasant diversions will occupy us throughout any siege. If you are untrained in the fine arts of passing the time, fear not. Instructors of music, dance, games, and other arts will be provided. Arrangements have been made for your rest and repast, so please plan to spend the night with us. Our only regret is that our cellars are not well stocked. Please bring what spirits you desire to make merry. Yours In Good Humor, Lord Bastian Eisengart, Event Steward |
