Through the fog of war do the flickering lights of crusading fires dance along the horizon. The wind that fuels this force of unknown horrors ,of creatures and demons never before seen on our shores, beasts from the far off lands of Adamastor, brings with it the stench of burning hope and conquest.
My ravens have not returned from the southern regions, hope of their return dwindles with the hour as the fires of conquest grow larger and ever present.
The wind whispers of great champions in their midst, hardened veterans of conquest , cruel and devote. It is these demons that hell hath not found or be it a plan from the great Adamastor, the Giant who sleeps his deep slumber.
But fear not, for the Defenders of Griffins Tor are stout and hardened to the cold of the northern winds, defending our humble dominion from all invaders, be they demon or man.
We shall celebrate on the eve of battle, honouring those that fall in battle and honouring those that carry on without the departed, for we honour those that go before us and those that follow. Lands of the Gryphon, king of all beast and man.
Defenders of Griffins tor… TO ARMS!!!!

Whispering winds
I bid thee all greetings on this cold and dark night.
The winds of fate, whisper once more of dark omens and wondering strangers,
muttering names that hath not been heard in our lands for many an age.
What comes, be it man or beast from the distant lands past the great dragon
mountains, from the lands were the great Giant, Adamastor, sleeps his
eternal slumber we know not.
The fates hath spoken of a Blood moon, a moon that will turn blood red. On
the rising of the next full moon, when she has shed her crimson cloak, our
lands will come under siege from a force we have not faced before.
Noble defenders of Griffins Tor, prepare yourselves!
I have sent the Ravens forth, to search for what must come.
In strength

New year, wet weather
Well, the Heavens have opened and hailed in the new year- literally.
With the ever present highveld thunderstorms, hail storms, flooding and daily down pours , promised well into mid February, it has been rather difficult to organise things outside like we usually do.
But as they say, if life gives you thunderstorms, learn how to dance in the rain.
So in the near future we will have an open movie night with a blazing fire to ward away the rain for a brief moment.
Fighter practice will commence again, when an indoor, covered area has been organised or the heavens permit us a day or two.
Classes are ideal for this time, except Rainer's which all seem to involve being outside and working with power tools.
This is a new, fresh year with old friends and new. Let's make it a good year full of creativity and good times.
Looking forward to seeing the fighters on the list this year, provided my armour still fits.
in honour and rain
