*You will need to bring your own feast gear because there will be a very limited supply of loaner gear on-site. Don't worry about fancy stuff. We're trying hard to eliminate the paper plates and day-glow cups from what should be the most visibly period part of the event, but at this point anything else will do.*

Court

Including the payment of the Royal Guard and announcing the new Prime Minister and Regent of Drakenfjord.  Upcoming event announcements, and any awards,  recognitions and honors that the Courts of the Kingdom of Drakenfjord, The Principality of the Four Winds, or the Kingdom of Barad Duin desire to present.

Celebration Revel 

After evening Court and Feast. 

Inter-Kingdom Knight's Circle

Sir Og Macdonald has requested an Inter-Kingdom Belted Circle be held to attend to matters that have been posted to the Combined Realms forums. The Circle shall take place from 3:00 - 4:00 pm.  It is assumed that the Knights can figure out who to construct thrown weapons without the workshop and thus will not miss out on a major portion of the event if the circle takes place at that time.

Drakenfjord Kingdom Althing

To Be Conducted Sunday Morning.
