Tournament, Feast and Baronial Investiture.
17 May 2025
It is the autumn of the Griffins discontent – turning 30.
Come celebrate the triumphs and gains of the Barony of Politarchopolis, I mean the barony has gained two cantons after all.
Show your love for martial activities with either the Rapier Tournament or heavy Tournament, or possibly both.
Enter our wonderful Arts and Sciences competition and marvel at the skills of others.
We will add to our history with a Baronial succession.
Tell stories, laugh and remember fondly the history of our proud barony.
