The Barony of the Angels and the Barony of Altavia combined efforts and talents to create a unique Yule and everyone was invited to enjoy the evening with us! No matter what your beliefs are, there is a certain festiveness and magic to the holiday season with the lights and scents and music, whether we are celebrating the Common Era or several centuries ago.
