Thus do we call for aid from our Great Neighbors, those brave souls of the Inlands! Ties of old call to the Baronies of Wastekeep, Wealdsmere, and Vulkanfeldt, as well as good cousins throughout the lands of An Tir. Come to our aid, and a share of our lentil bounty! Fighting and food, merry-making and beer! Let us all protect these lands of our Great King Ulfgar and Queen Juahara from the foul highwaymen. Rapier and Heavy WAR!, merchants, bardic, classes and fellowship. Who will fly their flag over our fair island this next year? Championships: A&S, Target Archery, and Rapier.

The War
Heavy Scenarios
Honor War 2025 Heavy Scenarios - Based on ancient Corinth and the Corinthian War.
- 1- Open field battle to warm up. 20 minute unlimited res battle. No war points awarded for this battle. We may adjust sides after this battle.
- 2- Ambush at Haliartus Based on the 395 BCE battle where Thebans ambushed the Spartans and killed Lysander, their military leader.
Defenders must escort their leader across the field at a walk. defenders have 2 lives, 1 res. The leader has a single life. Attackers have unlimited res but can not leave the res point with fewer than 5 people. 1 war point awarded for success of either side. Swap sides and run it again.
- 3- Siege of Corinth's Hexamilion wall- The wall guarded the isthmus of Corinth, guarding the Peloponnese peninsula. Defenders guard against a siege from their fortified wall. Defend the two gates. If attackers get in and lower your flag the wall is lost. Unlimited res both sides. Best time is awarded a war point.
- 4- Ships were transported across the isthmus on the diolkos. Conceived in the 7th century BC by Periander of Corinth, the diolkos (land track way) was used to pull ships across the narrow section of Greece at the city of Corinth, guarding the Peloponnese peninsula.
Defenders pull 4 stray bales across the isthmus. it takes 3 people to move your "boat" across. Success grants you a war point. Stopping the transport grants a war point. 3 res, 4 lives. Swap sides and run a second time. 20 minute time limit.
- 5- The fortress of Acrocorinth defended the Peloponnese peninsula from attack. Within the fortress were 3 cisterns. As this area was quite arid, the cisterns were very important to troops defending the area.
Defenders start at the gates of the Acrocorinth. Once they die they move back into the fortress to defend the cisterns. defenders have 3 res, 4 lives. Attackers must push into the fortress and raise their flag at the cistern to claim it. Attackers have unlimited res. 20 minute time limit. Swap sides and run it again. Fastest time is awarded a war point If anyone is still wanting to fight after all this we can do a town battle. A chivalry prize will be awarded for the most chivalrous fighter.
