Last summer was a time of great hope in the Shire of Sylvan Glen. After months of intense negotiations and diplomacy, we had reached an agreement with our long time enemy, the Barony of Highland Foorde in the Kingdom of Atlantia. We entered into an alliance with our former nemesis with the goal of ridding our respective lands of the bold and brash brigands menacing our highways and byways.

In the fall, we marched onto the field of battle to face the hooligans who had been cornered. We felt that victory was close at hand only to find bitter betrayal as the Barony of Highland Foorde and those fighting with her turned on us and joined forces with the bandits in an audacious ploy to regain the Sylver Apple of Sylvan Glen for themselves. Fortunately for us, a few quick witted shire folk realized what was happening and spirited the Apple away to safety before the overwhelming numbers of Atlantians had won the battle.

After such shocking defeat, the populace of Sylvan Glen feared that Highland Foorde, flush with their victory, though deprived of the Apple, may embolden the marauders to make yet another grab for our treasured talisman. It looked as if a very dark time was about to descend upon the shire, but then rumbles of war from the distant north began to reach our ears. As the rumbling grew louder, we saw a lifting of the dark foreboding that had settled over the shire. This great loud noise heralded the rise of a new power and an immense army began to amass on the borders of Highland Foorde. As this army has continued to grow, Highland Foorde has called upon every able-bodied fighter to attend to the defense of her eastern and northern borders, and so now they have little time or energy to spare on our small shire.
Our joy over this turn of events, which briefly offered us the hope of peace, was short lived as reports of small groups of raiders hitting our farms and orchards to the south started to trickle in. Our intelligence gathers have learned that this new enemy believes that the way to great treasure lies hidden within the the monastery in Glengary, the Abbey of St. Nameless, and they are preparing to raid this cherished repository of knowledge. There are a great many secrets large and small hidden within the chambers of this building though they are of a far different sort than these new raiders seek. We must not let these secrets fall into the wrong hands. The safety and security of Sylvan Glen and, indeed, the very Kingdom of Aethelmearc are at stake. So once again, we find ourselves calling to our friends, our allies, and the Great Sylver Stag to come to our aid as we defend the gateway to Aethelmearc from a new threat.

In addition to all things archery, there is plenty of space for a thrown weapons range, heavy weapons and fencing as well. We welcome merchants, but please contact the Autocrat as inside/table space is limited.
