Fall Crown Tournament - November 3rd, 2018

As the days grow shorter and the cold winds of winter begin to blow in from the north, Their Majesties will seek to secure the future of the fair Kingdom of Atlantia.

The Barony of Ponte Alto is honoured to host a grand tournament for the most precious prize in the Known World. Come fight for the glory of our great kingdom, or bear witness as King Ragnarr and Queen Lynette's potential Heirs test their mettle against each other in a grand tournament in order to gain the right to bear the crowns of Atlantia. A glorious day of pageantry, amazing feats of arms, and beautiful displays of arts and sciences awaits!
