The Shire of Rusted Woodlands welcomes one and all to the Tenth Annual East Kingdom Novice Day on June 24th, 2023!

This is the perfect opportunity for those newest to the Knowne World to showcase their talents. Those gentles that are better acquainted with our lands will be able to meet new people and share those experiences that have kept them coming back for more.

Gold Key (loaner garb) will be available at Troll (check-in).

The wearing of regalia and personal heraldry is encouraged at this event. Newcomers will have the opportunity to find and learn about the regalia of awards (various Orders, Barons/Baronesses, Peers, etc).
