The triple midriegn for Mystic Springs, Slaughter Creek and Talonfield was a well run single day event.  The Asian theme added subtle flavor to the activities, the decorations and the feast.  Paper lanterns were scattered throughout the trees surrounding the main gathering area.  The feast consisted of hand rolled eggrolls, kabobs and a fortune cookie.

The event had a good mix of fighting and non-fighting activities.  Plenty of ditching for the fighters as well as an A&S tourney for the artisans.  The Asian theme was even reflected in the A&S entries with a painting of a samurai and a more modern Anime styled caricature of the Mystic Springs populous.  Other activities, such as the Yen Tourney and the obstacle course, mixed physical fitness with Amtgard styled fun.  There is some debate as to whether the obstacle course was more entertaining for the competitors or to the audience.
 
 
If there were any doubts as to how well this event was going, they were washed away as it started to rain.  Rather than slipping off to their cars to head somewhere dryer, the fighters kept fighting and everyone else kept socializing albeit under the trees.
 
 
Despite the rain, feast and court proceeded smoothly. Feast was served before court.  There was plenty of food for everyone, even vegetarian options.  Each of the three parks was given a chance to talk and pass out awards.  Time was even allotted for visitors to bring forth announcements.  The defender of Mystic Springs did an excellent job of "controlling" the audience and adding the touch of intrigue we used to see in Amtgard park level courts years ago.  As court ended, preparations for the day's quest began.

[AP News] The Desert Winds was once a peaceful land, the populace had joined forces time and time again to keep attackers at bay and to work together hand in hand to earn the rank of Kingdom.

But now the excitement has worn off and the populaces of the Desert Winds have turned on each other. Similar to that of a bar room brawl, everyone has joined in – happily attacking their neighbors and breaking age old treaties. It is rumored that the new King Rico is behind the sudden greed of his subjects. Reportedly King Rico placed lands up for sale in a “silent action”, selling lands that rightfully belonged to his Duchys, Baronys and Shires. I have an inside source that claims King Rico even gave away lands. In an interview, concerned parties stated that they are “certain the funds are for padding the Kingdom coffers.”

The true terror of the matter is that King Rico opened the “silent action” land sales up to Kingdom outsiders. As I am reporting this, the land owner named Legion is marching on The River’s End Crown lands. No one seems to know who this ‘Legion’ is and if they do they are too fearful to report it the media. This just in: A source just reported that not only are the land owners attacking lands but there are now reports coming in that Orcs, gremlins and other beasts are surfacing within the Desert Winds.

Just in the past week five lands were attacked. Each of the land owners seems to be trying to increase their lands but to what end we are uncertain. Monarchy members have refused to comment on the situation. We are unsure if it is due to fear or that they too are part of the conspiracy.
