Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

Make haste and gather, good gentles all, for the most esteemed gathering in the lands of the Outlands—the time-honored Grand Outlandish Tournament! An event that hath withstood the trials of time, returning once more in all its splendor for its 50th anniversary.

Dost thou possess the mettle to claim the title of Lord of Outlandish? Or mayhap thou seek the grueling glory of the Iron Man of Outlandish? Test thy skill in the MOD Tournament, Roving Archery, and a host of other challenging marshaled challenges.

The Iron Man Competition shall be held upon Saturday, encompassing the Lord of Outlandish, the Outlandish Archery Tourney, and the Outlandish Rogue Rapier Tourney.

Shouldst thou not take to the field of battle, fear not! There are arts aplenty to enrich thy mind and delight thy soul—come partake in classes of metalwork, cookery, dance, the scribal arts, millinery, garb-making, ropecraft and knotwork, and even the ancient art of fishing! Refine thy knowledge of Outlands history and share in the tales of old.
