About Highlands

Beneath the tall pines of Northern Arizona, the Barony of Ered Sul welcomes all to Highlands War 2026, our beloved annual camping event where fellowship and a touch of magic come together in the cool mountain air. Held at Camp Raymond near Parks, Arizona, Highlands War has long been a favorite gathering place for the Kingdom of Atenveldt, where armored combat, rapier, archery, thrown weapons, equestrian activities, Arts & Sciences, bardic arts, merchants, and late-night laughter light up the forest every year.

This year, we step into the Wilderness of the Fey, where beauty and danger walk hand in hand! The populace are invited to embrace the theme by dressing as creatures of light or shadow, decorating camps with fairy lights, mushrooms to welcome the fey, or bells to keep them at bay.

Whether you come to fight for glory, trade treasures in the Goblin Market, learn something new, or simply wander the enchanted forest paths, Highlands War promises adventure and a little mischief along the way.

Activities

Camp Decorating Competition

There will be a prize for the best decorated camp.
There may be mischief afoot: Decorate your camp with mushrooms to invite the fey in, OR decorate your camp with bells to keep the fey out!
We would encourage all participants to decorate in fairy lights or any other camouflage to blend in with the fey.

Martial Activities

Our armies may fight for the favor of the light or the pleasure of the dark:
hard suit, rapier, archery, thrown weapons, and equestrian are all welcome to represent their kin through feats of strength and skill.

Arts & Sciences

Arts and Sciences classes on Friday and Saturday (Schedule TBD). The more we know, the stronger we are.

Goblin Market

The Goblin Market will have many small shiny treasures which they will happily trade for any largess that you have created.

Bardic Fire-Crawling Competition

Friday Night at 7 PM Come wander the campfires and let your voice be heard in this fun blind bardic competition! Competitors won’t know who the judges are or where they may be hiding—5 secret judges will be scattered among the fires throughout camp. Perform at as many fires as you can with songs, stories, poems, or music to find the hidden judges and earn your place in the competition.
