Event details
Battle of the Fiery Beast I:  (Unnamed), in the haze of memory…  Dark Lawd Smokey ruled the lands with an iron fist, controlling the Fiery Beast and causing the Lilliputians to scramble and hide from the Menace, his Phantom control.  (See what we did there? Phantom…  Menace…?)

Battle of the Fiery Beast II:  Attack of the Lilliputians, was won by the forces of Grand Daddy Boo, dethroning the Dark Lawd Smokey and causing his forces to flee the lands of Lilliput!  The Fiery Beast was tasty!

Battle of the Fiery Beast III:  The Fall of Lilliput, showed that Dark Lawd Smokey would not remain vanquished, unleashing his mini-might against the remaining Lilliputians of Coill Tuar, waking the children of the Fiery Beast!  His attempt however was thwarted, though the lands of Lilliput fell to ruins, he did not regain control!

Battle of the Fiery Beast IV:  A New Mini Menace, brought about a change in the tide of the conflict.  Brunhelga has emerged as the antagonist now, replacing Dark Lawd Smokey who has not been seen since.  Grand Daddy Boo fought valiantly, yet failed to gain control once and for all…

Which brings us to Battle of the Fiery Beast V:  The Lilliputians Strike Back!  *** NEW LOCATION ***

Grand Daddy Boo has spent the year in exile, searching the lands for the remaining Lilliputians to gather at a rally point in Coill Tuar in order to perform a last ditch effort to take on the mini-forces of Brunhelga Smokey and finish the Fiery Beast once and for all!

o EVEN More Activities for the young Lords and Ladies!

Also throughout the day:
o Display your talents on our A&S table!  The theme for our A&S challenge is “Small Art” — items that measure less than 4″ in height, length, and depth.  (Art for Lilliputians!) Also feel free to bring items that don’t quite fit into this category, for display.
o Shower us with song!
o Make merry with music!
o And much much more for everyone to enjoy!

If you’ve been to our previous Yule Feast or Fiery Beast events you know we try and make sure that there are enough activities to keep our young Lords and Ladies busy for the entire day, and this time is no different.  Our plan is always to create a safe and fun environment for our SCA families.
