Metal symposium in Myrkfaelinn
As the seasons turn cooler we look to celebrate
Veturnætur (otherwise known as Winter Nights),
the Norse harvest festival. Join us for a day of
All Things Viking and enjoy the last games before
retiring to your longhouse for the cold months ahead.
We'll be culling our herds and devouring the
crops that won't keep, so join us for a
scrumptous feast prepared by Reyni-Hrefna. A
proper Viking feast is planned. If you have any
dietary restrictions you may contact her
(Jennifer Johnson, karstyl@gmail.com,
607-351-9860 no calls after 9pm). Seating is
limited, so you may wish to reserve early.
We are pleased to announce the incorporation of
the AEthelmearc Metalsmith Guild's First Metal
Symposium. A variety of classes and activities
are in the works. Forge space is available. For
more details contact THL Captain John Michael Thorpe.
