10/2025 thoughts: This was my first ever post to the Barony of Aquaterra Unofficial Populace Page. I had taken up Stewarding Banner War, but I didn’t realize how much you really needed to be pushing your event on all the social spaces in order to get people the info, so I spent a lot of time responding to private messages before I made this post. Looking back now – I still feel like I actually had done a decently good job of getting the info out before the event started, I just didn’t get it out early or often enough.

“PSA: Event Steward reporting in with current information! See below for the event schedule and competitions as they currently stand!

Reminder to email esmaantir@gmail.com to reserve an RV Spot! I only have 2 requests so far, but only about 8 spots available!
