Comfort of the Hearth A&S Tournament

Their Excellencies of Shattered Crystal have invited all to Their winter cabin for fun and frolic. Their hearth is always a place of comfort and peace during the long, cold nights. They have challenged all to see who can provide the best “items that speak comfort” in an A&S tournament. Any medium is welcome, weather it’s a pair of gloves, a nice jug of mead, or a game board. Please give a two or more sentence as to how you feel that the item(s) you have made bring comfort to those at your hearth. Any food items need to be labeled with all ingredients. Prizes will be given during court.

If you have any questions, please notify THL Malina ([email protected])
