Info:

Lani smo z Žovneško gospodo sklenili premirje … vsaj na papirju. In ker je jesen pred vrati, se je v rokah našega jarla znašlo sporočilo z gradu Žovnek. Bilo je vabilo na veliko slavje s plesom, pojedino in veseljačenjem, ki ga pripravljajo na gradu Žovnek. Sliši se mamljivo.

Ampak Žovnečane dobro poznamo. Vsakič, ko nas povabijo na grad, se nekako znajdemo sredi bitke in vedno se najde kdo, ki je preveč nabrusil meč. Zato bomo tudi tokrat prišli pripravljeni.

Pred gradom bomo postavili svoj tabor, ki bo zasenčil sijaj gradu, poklepetali z obiskovalci, jim pokazali orožje in pobrali vstopnino ter seveda preverili, ali lansko premirje še vedno velja. Če ne bo, bomo stvar pač razrešili po starem. Z meči.

Še preden se je kaj sploh začelo, nas je naš dober prijatelj Peter Celjski izzval na UI bitko ... na katero smo se morali odzvati z UI protinapadom. Zdaj pa komaj čakamo na začetek dogodka, da lahko v živo dokažemo, zakaj je druga fake slika najbolj verjetni rezultat

To soboto, 19. 9. 2026, od 10. ure naprej se vam na gradu Žovnek tako obeta 7. Srednjeveški dan.

Grad Žovnek, prihajamo!

Last year, we signed a truce with the Lords of Žovnek … at least on paper. And with autumn just around the corner, a message from Žovnek Castle has found its way into our Jarl’s hands. It is an invitation to a grand celebration, featuring dancing, a feast, and merrymaking, hosted at the castle. It sounds tempting.

But we know the people of Žovnek well. Every time we are invited to the castle, we somehow end up in the middle of a battle, and there is always someone who has sharpened their sword a bit too keenly. That is why we will arrive prepared this time, too.

We will set up a camp outside the castle that will outshine the castle’s own splendor, chat with visitors, show them our weaponry, and collect the entrance fee, and, of course, verify whether last year’s truce still holds. If not, we will simply settle the matter the old-fashioned way: with swords.

Even before things really got underway, our good friend Peter of Celje challenged us to an AI battle ... one we had to respond with AI countercharge. And now we can’t wait for the event to start so we can prove in person why the second fake image is the most likely result

So, join us at Žovnek Castle this Saturday, 19. 9. 2026, from 10:00 AM onwards for the 7th Medieval Day.

Žovnek Castle, here we come!

Zaključne misli:
Na grad Žovnek smo se odpravili kot miroljubni trgovci, da bi množicam od blizu in daleč predstavili naše rokodelske izdelke, ki jim ni para v naši deželi. A ko smo prišli pred grad, so nas zavrnili, kljub temu da smo se za pravico do trgovanja vnaprej dogovorili in zanjo tudi plačali. Ni bilo druge možnosti, kot da smo segli po mečih in sulicah.

Preden pa bi dokončno pregazili branitelje, se je med njimi odkril izdajalec, ki je ukradel srebro, s katerim smo kupili tržne pravice. Branilci so prosili za milost in podelili smo jim jo, v zameno pa odnesli zgolj izdajalčevo glavo. Po tem je trgovanje steklo brez težav in bilo tako dobičkonosno, da se bomo še kdaj vrnili. Hvala pa seveda Žovneški gospodi za pogostitev ob razrešitvi trgovskega pripetljaja.

We set out for Žovnek Castle as peaceful merchants, intending to showcase our unparalleled craftsmanship to crowds from near and far. Yet, upon our arrival, we were turned away, despite having secured and paid for trading rights in advance. Left with no other choice, we drew our swords and spears.

However, before we could fully overrun the defenders, a traitor in their midst was revealed; he had stolen the very silver used to purchase our trading privileges. The defenders pleaded for mercy, which we granted, taking only the traitor’s head in return. Thereafter, trade proceeded smoothly and proved so profitable that we shall certainly return. Our thanks, of course, go to the lords of Žovnek for their hospitality in the wake of this trading incident.
