The members of the 2016 Dragon’s Laire Customary Committee discussed and agreed that, while a physical representation of our history is amazing, a virtual one would also be beneficial in allowing greater access to both local Populace members and those visiting and working in far off lands as well as curious strangers.
This will be a living document, growing and changing as needed. There are many ways to contribute! The Barony is seeking our history – maps, historical data/timelines, stories, newspaper articles, and photos from events and also of items.
