5/31/2006 RONE ACADEMY'S REIVER RALLY
Ever been curious about the mysterious highland people on and about Luinne Bheinn? Wondered at their history, and how they came to settle on a mountain top in the wilds, their passionate hate for the krolvin, or the aid they lent to Wehnimer's Landing in times of need?

Then come join Perigourd and Missoni on the 13th of Lumnea at 9 PM as they tell the tale known to a scarce few and relate the history of an honorable people, much persecuted and hunted unjustly. For those willing to take the risks, they will follow the tale with a historical tour of recent reiver battle sites.

Interested parties will meet on the Rone Academy porch. From Lorminstra's temple, Rone Academy may be reached by going a block east, south, down the path, through the yard, and up the steps.

For those who've mastered your steps on the ballroom floor, don your winter finery one more time and come test your dance skills on the ice.

Missed the first two classes? Well, come see what you've been missing! You won't be disappointed. Everyone is welcome.

Join us on the 14th evening of Ivastaen at 9 chimes of the Elven bell (Sunday, May 14 at 9:00 PM Eastern) for a contest you don't want to miss. A pair of designer skates will be awarded to the lucky winner.
