The call of war has gone out and been heard. There is to be a gathering of fighters from near and far to refine their battle skills. Please join your friends and fellow fighters at this War College.

This site, within the boundaries of Austin, TX, will have a couple new toys to play with. There is a fort being built similar to the one at the Jones Country site. As well, there is to be a ship built that we will be able to be used for different boarding scenerios.

During this day of warcraft there will be many activites including:

• Melees with likely scenerios including:
  • small unit conflicts
  • open field battles
  • goal oriented conflicts
  • castle battles
  • ship battles
  • combat archery
  • siege engines
• Tactics classes
• Tactical scenerios to better understand goal oriented battles and to practice what you've learned
• Great sword classes
• Single combat fighting
• A light lunch of fruits, breads, meats and cheeses for the heavy combatants - Provided by Ysfael and Eleanor
• Swimming for those who want
• A pot-luck mini-revel will occur to help integrate those new to our Society.
• The evening festivities will include a grand halfla hosted by Shu'la.

The day's activities will get started around 9AM on Saturday.

How to find us

There is no camping due to safety concerns.

The most direct directions are as follows:

• Take I-35 to the 290E/FM2222/Keonig exit. Take FM 2222/Keonig West.
• Stay on FM 2222/Keonig until you cross RM360. (This is several miles and you leave Austin proper.)
• Go West on FM 2222 about 0.4 miles to the first stop light at City Park Rd.
• Turn left on City Park Road and go almost a mile up a steep hill to Bridgepoint Pkwy.
• Turn left onto Bridgepoint Pkwy and go until it ends.
• Turn right onto Coldwater Canyon drive. Follow this road around, past the barricade to the cul-de-sac.
• At the end of the cul-de-sac is a gate and a dirt road. Enter slowly.
• Follow the dirt road through the small cliffs and down the hill. It's a STEEP HILL so drive slowly.
