Winter WeekendRRE


This is an annual event held in the mountains of Dreiburgen in mid-January, over Martin Luther King weekend. It is a weekend of cabin-camping in the snow (when there is some), with those present doing all the meals, cleanup, and providing activities. There are a limited number of beds and space in the dining hall, so unlike most Caidan events, it is a reservation-only event.

Winter Weekend was granted the status of "Right Noble" by TRM Sven II and Kolfinna II in the year 2009.

Common activities include the following. But it only happens if the people there make it happen. The autocrat is not in charge of amusements:
