Community Calendar:
Next weekend will be huge. We’ve got the Weatherstock Concert Series, the Festival of the White Lady, and the Summer of Love Festival. We have more information on each of these events in the coming soon section. But there’s still plenty to see this week, from the regular weekly concerts and gatherings to several special events on Belegaer. Today we’ll focus on some of the great events on the German language servers.
This listing of featured events is only published on Fridays, but our Google calendar is kept up to date throughout the week and includes details on many more activities.
