> For those of you that miss the cabin at the old DW site, we offer you
> Barenlager (bear camp)- a private project begun by members of the
> Barony of Small Gray Bear. We've been ceded land at Camp Cedar
> Valley, site of DWXXII, and in the past few months we've designed and
> begun construction on a medieval village for war scenarios.
> 
> This is year one: Outpost. We've constructed a stable with corral, a
> wellhouse, and an outbuilding. Fighters will get to fight in and
> around these structures, as well as navigate tents, firepits, and
> natural barriers in order to engage and annihilate the enemy.
> 
> Flanking the village on either side are thick woods and a ravine. A
> road runs up from the main activity area through the main clearing.
> The possibilities are endless, and the house-to-house fighting will
> be some of the most intense you've ever experienced.
> 
> Future projects include a forge, chapel and greathall. As the village
> expands, gatehouses and watchtowers will be added.
> 
> And once Phase 1 is finished, we will be turning our attention to an
> artisan's village across the ravine from the fighting village. We've
> already had interest from resident blacksmiths regarding a working
> forge, as well as cultivation space for period gardening and herbal
> projects.
> 
> Please join us this Diamond Wars to experience Barenlager. If you'd
