ICE WEASEL XX ...THE LEGEND FREEZES ON!

Winter descends upon the East once more.  The winds howl, the snow piles high, and wise folk retreat to their firesides.  Armor gathers dust, swords rest on the rack, and even the boldest warriors think twice before stepping into the storm.

But not here.  In the heart of the Kingdom, where reason gives way to tradition, the Barony of Smoking Rocks once again challenges the season itself.  For twenty years, the fearless, or perhaps foolish, have gathered to face the cold, the snow, and the mighty Ice Weasel.  That sly spirit of winter who never quite wins.

Join us for the 20th Annual Ice Weasel Bear Pit Tournament!  Swords will clash, snow will swirl, and courage, or stubbornness, will shine bright against the frost.  Who will emerge as this year’s Lord Protector of Smoking Rocks? Only the bold shall know.

And for those who choose warmth over warfare, the halls will be alive with cheer!  Come for the Grand Opening of the Purple Wyvern Kitchen as the serve hot food, good drink, and better company to all who seek shelter from the chill.  Learn something new at one of the classes being offered or shop at one of the vendors. 

Bundle up, bring your spirit, and come add your name to the legend.  For twenty years, winter has tried to stop us — and twenty times, it has failed.
Because the Cold Never Wins in Smoking Rocks.
