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 arranged a basic schedule of what is going on. We will publicize that schedule in the next couple weeks as well as post it on social media.

As always one of our goals of this event is to bring you elevated festval foods throughout the day as well as serve you lunch and dinner, so come hungry!

Announcement: Heirs to the Realms

Heirs to the Realms, to me!

A mysterious phenomenon is being observed throughout the Realms. Folks are calling them Age Lines, magical wards that adults cannot cross. Young adventurers are being summoned to investigate these strange wards and the mysteries that lie beyond.

Heirs to the Realms is a new miniquesting series dedicated to providing quality, meaningful, age-appropriate adventuring experiences for the younger players in our game. This Rhiassan-led initiative seeks to help bridge the generational divide between players by promoting a standard path of age-limited Regional magic to make gameplay more accessible to our younger friends, building comradery among players of all ages, and priming our young adventurers for their future questing careers.

The first Heirs to the Realms miniquest will be debuting at the Gilded Lion Summer Festival on June 21st. EHs who are interested in having HttR content or Regional magic at their event should reach out to Brookelyn Tilton via Discord or Facebook Messenger to coordinate. And who knows… maybe the Heirs will have an event of their own someday!


Stacked Deck Tournament Information:

The Stacked deck tournament will start as soon as we have enough players signed up. 50 gold buy in for 5000 chips, with a 10-gold dealer tip for 1000 additional chips. 2 50 gold rebuys are available, 1 at a time if your stack is 2500 chips or less in the first hour.

At the end of the first hour, regardless of stack size anyone who has not done both rebuys can do 1 or 2 add on’s for a total of three total buy ins. The add on’s will be the same 50 gold for 5000 chips. So you could do the original buy in, 1 rebuy, and then 1 add on, or original buy in, and 2 add ons, or original buy, and have to do 2 re-buys.

This will last until we have clear winners, or 4 hours; if time allows. The blinds will be 20 minutes, 25-50, 50-100, 100-200, 200-400, 300-600, 500-1000, 1000-2000, 1500-3000. 2000-4000, 2500-5000, 3000-6000, 5000-10000.
