World Banner Wars

Abbreviated: WBW or BW

A yearly Interkingdom Event hosted by the Emerald Hills since 2000

What should you expect

World Banner Wars is a major Interkingdom Event that attracts fighters from all over the country.

The centerpiece of World Banner Wars is the grand tournament, where companies, households, and parks battle each other in full-class teams for bragging rights and the banners of all the losing teams. The rules vary from year to year, maximum team sizes varying from 10 to 20. Sometimes armor caps and maximum numbers of different classes are set, so it is wise to check the World Banner Wars Forum for details.

But World Banner Wars has much more to offer than just the grand tournament. Battlegames, Quests, Jugging, and A&S classes and workshops are offered during the event. Merchants are a frequent sight, offering a varied range of wares. And of course the ditching is top notch.

Attendance usually ranges between 200 and 300.

History

Created during the reign of Dame Eclipse in 2000. The first few WBW's were more of a thieves game. Teams made non-expensive banners to display and protect during the whole event. It played out like a grand game of capture the flag. But then sometime by the 3rd or 4th year it was evolved into a War event. Banners were set more to the side and combat was pushed to the forefront. Banners are still brought and wagered in the spirit of what the games name originally implied, but now the banners are simply given to the winner of the main tournament. Banners lost to the winner are usually held for ransom until proper 'payment' arrangements can be made. Starting in 2016, it became a joint kingdom event between EH and the Wetlands.
