It's a time of celebration in the land of enchantment, the Great Lakes Medieval Faire. King William and Queen Isabella hath declare all ye attend Prince Philip's 21st birthday - a wondrous day of royal festivities and tomfoolery. Share the day with all your friends and townfolk as Prince Philip enters manhood.

As fate may have it, the evil Queen Malice has traveled from afar to wreak havoc and bring drama to our happy and loving village of Avaloch. With a questionable document in hand, Queen Malice has challenged King William to the rights of Avaloch. The document declares that any heir to the throne must be married by night fall on his 21st birthday or loose the rights to the kingdom.

All his beloved subjects, scurry about to find an eligible bride. Prince Philip is pining for a beautiful peasant girl named Kahlan, and the evil Queen Malice is desperately trying to off her evil daughter, Princess Anastasia, to the kind-hearted Prince Philip. Will there be a marriage as well as a birthday on this momentous day?
