More than 200 players attended the Amtgard Live Action Role Play event in Rangely last weekend for “Salt Wars,” based on the Netflix series “The Witcher,” from season three. Players from the Desert Winds kingdom, which spans from Montana to Arizona, participated in quests, battles, meals, crafts and socializing in full medieval costume. The next event will be Aug. 9-13, a mirror inter-kingdom event by the Empire of the Iron Mountain. Katie Faye King Photo

There were actually 2 Knightings at that event and neither were “new players”. This honor is given to players that have dedicated significant time and energy in their path. I believe both were knighted as Serpent Knights (I think. One was for sure) which shows not only years of passion in their chosen arts but also a dedication to teaching that art to others. One of those Knights I have had the honor of teaching leather craft to and have known for over 20 years in Amtgard. Huzzah to Sir Rocky and long live the King!
Reporting on the event is great! Some advertising prior would have been great! Wish we had known!!!
