WInterKingdom

General Information

wInterKingdom Collegium & Peace is an annual Collegium event, held in the Northern Region of Ansteorra. It has, generally, been hosted by the Barony of Northkeep, however, from time to time, other groups have assisted or co-sponsored the event. In its humble beginnings, it was an effort to gather in our near-cousins from Calontir in a non-combat-focused event.
