Last day to preregister for Siege of Granada!

May 1, 2019 Posted inArts & Sciences, Combat, Event

Today is your last day to preregister for the Siege of Granada (May 11, Putnam County Park). https://eastkingdom.org/EventDetails.php?eid=3461

The year is 1259, just one year after the Siege of Baghdad.  Mongke Khan has a growing sense of doom.  Seeing the end of his reign, he seeks to consolidate power for his son, Kublai, by sending any potential rival far from the center of the Mongol seat of power.  Ariqbok Khan was sent into the far reaches of the Arabic world with the Golden Horde.  Suuder Khan was sent deep into Europe with the Metann Clan.  Suuder leads his troops through Transylvania, Vienna, and Toledo, intending to finally lay siege to Granada.

Join us for Combat, all manner of!  Feasting on a sumptuous day board of 13th century Andalusi foods prepared by Ibrahim al-Rashid ibn Musa!  Provincial A&S Championship!  Bartertown!
