Event Description

On a small plot of land on the border between Chimeron and Rhiassa there is a humble but busy construction site. There, preparations are being made for a celebration. With the coming Summer Solstice also comes a time for comradery and merriment. A chance to enjoy many kinds of festivities and delicious food. A day with workshops, gambling, games, and tournaments. A day for everyone to relax together and deepen our bonds of friendship.

Welcome to the Gilded Lion and Silver Branch Summer Festival!


Hello everyone!

One of the exciting things about The Gilded Lion and Silver Branch Summer Festival is how we can offer time to different parts of the community to bring their plot and other content to a diverse audience. We’ve worked over the past couple of weeks to connect with different plot holders and have put together a basic schedule of what is going on. We present it to you now with the stipulation that some changes should be expected even up to the day of the event.

Also there is still room on the schedule for other content so if you would like to be a part of things, please reach out over PM.
