All Fools 2019, Sunday, April 7th, 2019
The Shire of Corvaria extends an invitation to all good gentles to join us in the merriment of our All Fools event. We will have a silly heavy combat tournament where fun and foolishness will be favored over martial prowess. Come vie to become either Corvaria’s Bardic champion or our Arts & Sciences champion. Then join us in our potluck feast and open bardic performances.
