Event Copy
Spring is in the air. Birds are building nests and flowers are in bloom. But amidst the season of Love a bitterness has spoiled the sweetness of Glymm Mere. Our chaste chocolate has been adulterated by the seductive peanut butter of Blatha An Oir. Baron Hengist's golden blossoms seek once again to pollinate our virgin meadows. Beevairians rise up! Friends of Glymm Mere rise up! War threatens our honey, our sweets, and our chocolate!
