🔥 War is in full swing! 🔥

As camps are buzzing, and magic is everywhere, we still need a few helping hands to keep everything running smoothly. The Watch especially needs volunteers, and even an hour or two makes a huge difference for the whole event.

If you have a little time to spare, stop by The Watch or Volunteer Point and see where you can help. Every shift keeps War safe and welcoming, and running strong.
