36 years ago, from the mighty Thunder Mountains rose to the south the protectors of our Kingdom’s southern border, the Barony March of Mons Tonitrus. On August 22-24, 2025, we will proudly gather in celebration of another year of progress, another year of fellowship, and our love of all those in our chosen family. We also look to our own good works and wish to take time to celebrate the hard work and grace of our current Baron and Baroness, and to celebrate the achievements, hardwork and growth of the incipient Shire of Vallis Aeris and welcome our most worthy new Baron and Baroness into the circle, all while camping, having fellowship & merrymaking with our comrades from near and afar in the beautiful wilds of Sonoita Arizona and the Empire Ranch Group Site.

We will be holding our traditional Armored and Rapier tournaments –

• Mace & Greatsword is a mass weapons only tournament in which the overall victor receives a prize mace to add to their personal armory and the winner becomes a Baroness’s Armored Combat Champion
• The Eleventh Annual Longsword tournament is a Cut & Thrust sword-in-two-hands only tournament in which the overall victor receives a functional cutting longsword. The overall victor is then responsible for running the following year’s tournament and holds the honor of being the Baron’s Cut & Thrust
  Champion.

But wait, there’s more! Our Bardic will be focused on Kingdom and Baronial music, a Baronial ‘Birthday celebration’ hosted by the BMMT Cooks Guild, exciting updates on the growing Incipient Shire of Vallis Aeris, and Archery and Thrown weapons ‘Protect the Crown/Coronet’ themed events will keep us all on the move.

Regalia and Pageantry will be in high tilt as well with the pomp and circumstance of the Farewell Court of our most beloved Baron Nathaniel and Baroness Swetia (Sweetie) and building excitement of the things to come as our leadership reins are past to the next Baron/Baroness taking on this mantle. Then the event will culminate in an explosion of hospitality, food and drink as a host of good souls create a tapas/charcuterie spread and dessert bar under the stars, lift our spirits with an open bar and live music and we all refill our cups with the merriment of time spent with true friends and chosen family around the Baronial Fire Pit.

This is a celebration of us, of our achievements, of our progress, our friendship and our will to never give up on each other or The Dream. Join us on this most auspicious weekend in the gorgeous Southlands and Long Live these Sovereign Lands of Atenveldt!
