Event Highlights

THE BEES! In the middle of the war, someone disturbed a ground-based hive of bees, and the war field was swarmed. They eventually centered in on a table adjacent to the Glymm Mere baronial pavilion, and clustered as though forming a new hive. The table was carefully moved away from the war field and the camping area. So if anyone asks who won the war, it was the BEES!
No, seriously, Glymm Mere won the war.
