The Prophets have been speaking of what they hear upon the wind.

"Fear not what you hear from mortal men "they say "for this harvest shall be the last, the coming winter will never pass. It shall be the winter of winters!

Already the prophets hear the brothers Skoll and Hati calling to each other in the night. Soon the dead will be called to rise once again, the prophets say this you will know when you hear three cocks crow. Good men need not fear the passing of the dead to the other world. Indeed, good men need not fear their own passing when the father calls.

"Join us" now says the wind! War shall soon be upon us and two mighty Kingdoms shall clash, as only brothers will. The drums of war will sound as thunder when the earth shakes under the feet of every warrior! Fear not the end of our days and celebrate Saturday night At Panhandle Skirmishes will be the official End of Days Bash!
