Hosted by: Vicereines Sofya and Angelica

Join us for a relaxed and engaging evening at “Cocktails with the Vicereines”, an informal virtual gathering where you’re invited to bring your favorite drink and settle in for conversation and camaraderie.

Curious about what it takes to be a Viceregent? Interested in running, or just want a peek behind the scenes? This is your chance to hear directly from the Vicereines about their roles, responsibilities, and the heart of service in Ostgardr.

We’ll also be discussing:

  • Plans for Pennsic and camping with Ostgardr
  • Ongoing and upcoming projects within the Province
  • Your ideas and suggestions. What would you like to see happen in Ostgardr?

If you’re working on a project, we’d love for you to share it! Whether you’re new, returning, or a long-standing member, this is your opportunity to connect, contribute, and celebrate the growing unity and friendship within our expanded Province.

This is your Ostgardr, and we can’t wait to see you there!

Join us on Northpass for Sunday Solar on January 19th, from 1 to 4 pm for a discussion about spices in Medival cooking.

Please bring an item for the snack potluck that includes ta spice found in the Medieval period and tell us a little bit about that spice.

You can go with something commonly found in modern times like cinnamon, ginger, or garlic. Or feel to delve deeper and bring something with a more obscure spice.

Potluck contributions do not need to be period or made by you.

An ingredient list is appreciated due to food allergies.

Feel free to also bring a project to work on while we chat.

Please RSVP with Vitasha for the address.
