Prayers Answered
by the Traveling Jongleur"Behold,
The Land of the Mighty
is in bloody strife and turmoil.
"Hear the tides of the godless Saxons,
bringing death and fire.
Hear the silent supplication
of our dead.
"Where are our brave warriors
of the shining helms,
To free us
from pain and shackles?
"Our tears and entreaties
To restore our pride and dignity
remain unheeded.
"Why do you mock our prayers, O Lord,
With only a beardless boy
and a sword
As our protectors?"

Search for the Tenth Knight: Gather your wits, charisma, and a full mug, for a tragedy has fallen upon the Knights of the Round! One hath fallen and his seat must be taken at the noble Roundtable. Come prove yourself in a drinking bout with Sir Chuggelot or a test of stealthy assassinations with Sir Craftypants. She or he who is deemed worthy will be treated like a true Knight throughout the weekend, as well as bestowed a special prize from Merlin himself.
"The victorious warriors look across the tattered field. Worn and exhausted, King Arthur's army is in dire need of rest and sustenance. Suddenly, a strong downhill wind brings the sweet scent of roasting meats. Someone had been busy preparing a meal for the tired warriors to celebrate their victory. This battlefield grub line is sure to fill everyone's roaring bellies."
After a long day of battle, a feast is only fitting to nourish the hungry soul, Mama Rita and Papa James and staff from "The Edge" will bring to you a Southern Style Feast. We will be serving Smoked Pork, deep fried poultry, many southern style vegetables, rolls, breads and something sweet to eat.For the many that may remember Mama's sweet tea and the many special treats that we served during the Ides of March event. Come visit us daily, we will be open with a special menu that will be pleasing to all. Looking forward in seeing old friends and making new ones.
"That's it... and look upon this moment. Savor it! Rejoice with great gladness! Great gladness! Remember it always, for you are joined by it. You are One, under the stars. Remember it well, then... this night, this great victory. So that in the years ahead, you can say, 'I was there that night, with Arthur, the King!' For it is the doom of men that they forget." -Merlin
In the spirit of King Arthur, the Battle of Badon Hill will conclude with a revel to celebrate the Chapters of Dagorhir coming together in battle. In the grand tradition of the Round Table, the organizers invite all Dagorhir to join us in sponsoring this party. If you've ever been to Ragnarok, you know how hard it is to attend all the parties and hang out with all the great people.
King Arthur’s Round Table solved the dilemma by bringing all his knights together as equals so that none could claim precedence. After a day of battle and hardship, we'll all vie to be the most gracious hosts providing the spoils of our victories to the Dagorhir community.
We challenge all units and chapters attending Badon Hill to show off your traditional drink or party tradition. This party will combine all of the greatest traditions that Dagorhirrim has to offer -- bring out the best of Dagorhir by bringing out YOUR best!
ALL GOOD THINGS "Yes, Camelot, my boy!
Where once it never rained till after sundown,
By eight a.m. the morning fog had flown...
Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known
As Camelot."
-Camelot Reprise, from the musical
