Dragon Bash Festival
It's time for Dragon Bash! It wouldn't be a proper celebration without your attendance. Join me in Hoelbrak for another moot for the ages! There will be tests of strength, racing, food, song, and most importantly—ale.
I'll see you there. Unless, of course, you don't enjoy fun.
—Knut Whitebear
