Their Excellencies Nikolaus and Aine, Baron and Baroness of the Citadel of the Southern Pass, would like to invite all and sundry to celebrate Twelfth Night at their country manor.

The day will include a heavy and light tournament. Both tournaments will be a Gift Exchange Tourney. Each entrant and their consort must provide a yule gift. Then the winner of the tourney and consort will have first pick of the gifts provided. The runner up will have second pick and so on.

During the day there will also be gaming and dancing instruction for the ball later that night. The Baron will provide for a light lunch for his guests and Warmin the cook will prepare a Yule feast that night. During the feast, as is traditional, the nobility will rest while the common people have leave to conduct a Fool's Court. After feast, the Baroness will conduct a ball for the entertainment of all.
