What if the history you knew was just a cover? What if the storybook only got the story half right?
Have you heard the story about the handsome Duke that scorned the wrong woman? She cursed him to a life of solitude and anger, making him a beast to all those around him. His people compared his temper to a fire breathing Dragon. That was until a beauty of a Duchess found him and melted his heart. And they lived happily ever after. It is a familiar tale but there is much more to it then that. The Duchess you see was cousin to Mary Queen of Scots. History might records the Scottish Queen lost a set of twins while imprisoned, but that isn’t true her cousin Duchess spirited the healthy babes away to the New World where they are protected by the Dragon Duke.
Twenty years and 4 children later, their peaceful land of Appalachia in the New World has been settled by nobility, townsfolk, sea faring pirates and magical few creatures. Join the Duke, his Duchess and all the citizens of the capitol city of Faire Crossings as they celebrate the summer!
*The story of the Appalachian Renaissance Faire is an exploration into Alternate History where it also meets folklore and fantasy. This is not intended to be presented as a true story, but for the purposes of entertainment and as a vehicle for learning imaginatively about folklore and historic traditions and cultures.
