Borderwars - Torna's elk hunt
Way up north was a kanton never before visited by the majesties of Drachenwald.
Dear Egil Drakhuvud took Sven and Jovi in his shiny wheeled dragon all the way up to Torna and their annual Elk hunt, Sven had then spent 16 hours in a train to get to Jovi and Egil in Frostheim.
We were very well met by lovely people and had an excellent time in the snowy and cold winter landscape.
The Elk hunt was very fun and it was even more fun that the team E-OK with HRM Sven, Lady Efridis and Lord Geiri managed to win the hunt. The Elk was hunted on skies, by shooting bow at a rabbit or a fox in the snow and by building a tower out of firewood and finally answering some challenging questions.
The food served was outstanding and plentiful, since the event was more days than normal two feasts were served and they were both excellent. As usual in the north the sauna was used a lot, both the indoor sauna and the snow sauna built for Saturdays festivities which was both fun and a real experience.
The border-wars between Aarnimetsä and Nordmark was held on friday and Nordmarks advances into Aarnimetsä came to a halt as the Aarnimetsä forces were victorious. The fighting was excellent, roughly 16 fighters took part in the war. On Saturday the Haakon pennance challenge (don't ask) took place and the great weapon tournament finished the day.

Despite the "don't aks" I have to inquire... Haakons penance challenge?? What did our dear Haakon do this time?
