Emperor Hadrian built a wall to keep those pesky Barbarians out and now
scouts report a force massing to assault the wall.
Come now and defend the Empire from the scourge of Caladonia!
Defenses are mustering at the Legion Fortress Gaines on Dauphin Island in Alabama
on Thursday evening October 25th and expect two days of scouting, skirmishing, and revelry.
Both Heavy and Light forces are needed, along with your support persons.
Come now merchants and craftsmen! Supplies and provisions of all kinds will be needed (war is good for profits, no?).
