Below is a sampling of upcoming events in the East Kingdom. This is not a comprehensive list - you may find that on the Kingdom web site. Instead, I am attempting to use the same criteria as our previous Web Mistress - "An event might be selected for this page because it is nearby, because it has, historically, drawn a large number of Malagentians, because its a Kingdom event, or because I've had a good time at the event before and I think you will too."

Winter Feast
Greetings Malagentia, and our near and dear neighbors. Set aside the date of January 14 for Winter Revel. We will once again be having a celebration of the season, and of the impending return of spring. This year the format will be somewhat different than in years past.

In the spirit that Malagentia exemplifies, of "many hands make light work" we will be having a potluck. The Province will be providing a hearty stew, a few meat selections and beverages to add to the pot luck offerings. There will be a List that will be organized by Baroness Astrid Ulfkillsdottir to help those who wish to co-ordinate what they want to bring.

We are currently looking for singers, actors, dancers and bards to perform. If you would like to help with entertainment for the evening please contact our entertainment co-ordinator Lady Camille DesJardain.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the autocrat Lord Michael acrensis or call 207-776-9957

Great Northeastern War 26
Twenty-six years ago two forces met on a field of battle in the fair lands of Malagentia. These two great forces fought for honor and glory. As the years passed their words and deeds became stories and songs, celebrated and well remembered. Every year since war has troubled these lands and we have no reason to think that war shall not come again this year.
So join the Province of Malagentia for our twenty-sixth anniversary of the Great Northeastern War! Test yourselves against the metal of those who have come before you. Earn your place in history and perchance someone may sing songs of your deeds one day.
Bring your skills be they with blade, bow, art, or merry making!
