Barony of Starkhafn presents Althing!
Greetings! Do you have a problem with someone? Has someone wronged you? Have they stolen your goat or dishonored you in front of the populous? Then perhaps, Starkhafn has the event for you. COME TO ALTHING! This event is where you can air out your grievances, real or not, and finalize it (until next year). We’ll allow you to test your mettle against your accuser/accused and may the best person win! Contests will pretty much be whatever you can think of; coin/dice tosses, board/card games, staring contests, feats of strength, dance off, etc.
This is also when Starkhafn will convene its annual War Council led by the Baronage and the Warlord to decide what wars to designate as Levy Wars. All capable fighters regardless of their particular flavor of courage and bravery are invited to come to circle and advise Their Excellencies and the Warlord on the coming fighting season.
