| Cohasset Wars [formerly Vinland Raids] EK War College | Event date: June 14th, 2013 - June 16th, 2013 | Hosted by Barony of Smoking Rocks - Yarmouthport, MA
| Event Last Modified: May 22nd, 2013 | | | | Event details | | In times long ago there was a Barony of great size and power surrounded by many small Shires. Often the powerful and seemingly omnipotent Barony would flex its might, and raid and capture goods and chattel from the weaker Shires and charge large amounts to cross their borders for trade and protection. Long did this go on until a far thinking Shire Reeve, realized that though the outlying Shires alone were small, yet together they could form a force that would compel the powerful Barony to respect their borders and goods. Thus in that time the Confederation of the Fret was born and the united might of these three Shires made the great Barony look else where for sport and raiding for many years to come. Time though did pass, as it always does, and the minds of men forgot the old ways, the old confederations. Larger looming enemies vexed the Kingdom and wars followed wars both internally and without, until many generations had passed. Now the groping Barony again rises, and looking about has taken to eye the northern borders of what once was the young and weak Shire of Smoking Rocks. Again the gimlet eyes figure that raiding and rapine upon the land can be used to disrupt commerce and trade and Pariahs may be leveled against the Good peaceful Baroness of the now Barony of Smoking Rocks and lands seized and threatened. Quickly They of the grasping hands and greedy heart imagine the flow of goods and coin into Their coffers, as the small hardworking Barony will flinch and yield to Their might and demands.
Yet They are wrong. Nay they are more than wrong, they are foolish. The Barony is not some ill ruled land in which they can ride unhindered to raid and pillage at will. Nay, here they face a united people, a people born of hard work, toil and trained in war. Here they will face numbers of men from all about the Kingdom. Men who will heed the call of the old Confederations and the plea of a peaceful and free yet fierce people willing to fight this tyranny to the end! If you are of such a mind join us at the First Cohasset Wars!! Here the assembled forces of Carolingia and Smoking Rocks will do honorable and chivalrous combat in all the forms of War. They will compete also in the arts, sciences and song and story as well! Come join us for a weekend based on the Spanish border raids of the 12th to 14th centuries and enjoy the hospitality of the Barony of Smoking Rocks in a weekend full of merriment, feasting, carousing, learning and WAR!
The Blow Hole Inn will be open on Saturday {late morning/early pm} for you to purchase refreshment!
