The Siege of
Black Tower
April 9, 2011
Church of the Sacred Heart
New Bohemia Hall
9300 Community Lane
Petersburg, Virginia 23805
A lone black tower stands near the riverfront beside the King's road.
This tower is a major point of river defense to the south of fair
Atlantia. As the weather turns warmer, invasion of our lands by our
enemies is once again possible. We must continue to sharpen our swords
and wits to help hold these river bound lands for Atlantia.
Come and join us for a day of Tournaments, Melees, A & S Classes and
Competitions, Pages Academy, a Silent Auction and fun and friendship.
Site opens at 9:00 am and closes at 7:00 pm.
Restrictions: No pets allowed. Dry site.
There will be a Black Tower Tournament for both heavy weapons and rapier
combatants. There will also be a melee competition for each combat
form. Melee combatants must bring a prize to donate to the Treasure
Chest in order to participate in the melees. For those of you who are
not fighting, you may wish to bring a prize for a fighter to donate to
the Treasure Chest in your honor!
There will also be Youth Combat Fighting.
A day board of siege rations will be provided at no additional cost.
