Northern Oaken War Maneuvers Baronial Court

Northern Oaken War Maneuvers, a beloved Cleftlands tradition, is generally scheduled about a year in advance. In March, all events in the Midrealm and Society ground to a halt with little understanding of just how long activities would be suspended. As the date of our event rapidly approached, the officer corps made the decision to officially cancel NOWM and thus started our first foray into the creation of a virtual court. Special thanks to all contributors and to Sir Ulfr Forkbeard for his video editing skills.
