Burning Lands

Emerald Hills

World Banner Wars occurs on this, it's accustomed weekend, Oct 10th-12th. Gate fee this year is a miniscule five dollars, no matter when you arrive. This weekend also has a local sporting event; the Red River Shoot Out, an annual college football game between the University of Texas Longhorns and the University of Oklahoma Sooners. The Game is very well attended and it almost always causes conflicts and traffic problems particularly for those that travel from the Celestial Kingdom. There was some idle discussion this year about moving the event, but it is highly unlikely. Banner Wars Schedule on Esam. The EH requires a waiver and event contract to be signed by either a legal guardian or parent if you are UNDER 18.

Oct. 12, Ashen Hills in East Lansing, MI plans for expansion. Some people might call it a war. I see it more as an opportunity to extend our sphere of influence. Neighboring parks will either join us or be crushed. Our first raid will be on Woodhaven Keep in Rochester Hills. We'll figure out travel arrangements this coming weekend. It should be an awesome day trip -- a chance to visit another park without a major commitment in drive time. -Evil Baroness Io.
