Events in the Shire of Rusted Woodlands
The Shire of Rusted Woodlands hosts two major events each year:
100 Minutes War
As winter’s woeful song begins to sweep across our beautiful shire once again, our thoughts turn to friends, a warm fire and War! The very beautiful Shire of Rusted Woodlands is delighted to invite the valiant warriors, learned artisans, and good Gentles of The East Kingdom as well as her beloved cousins from far off lands as well as close neighbors to test their mettle once again at the glorious battle we call The 100 Minutes War.
The last major martial event of the East Kingdom calendar happens each November in Sussex County New Jersey. This year’s War is on November 22nd, 2025.
East Kingdom Novice Day
Come one, come all, come celebrate the accomplishments of our newest members. We will have TWO (2) tournaments: an armored combat tourney for the newest combatants to show their prowess, and a fencing tournament- both will showcase the talents of our novice warriors (within 2 years of their initial authorizations).
This event has floated between June and November. This year’s Novice Day will be be on July 19th, 2025.
