We are proud/happy/excited to announce that once again SoMN will be returning to the Brainerd Castle for our October 23rd-25th event in 2015!
Pre-registration for the castle event will open at the beginning of September (running along side our planned September event) to help facilitate the expect larger size and to allow for reserving rooms etc.
Here is our existing FAQ list for your convenience (all prices have been reviewed/verified for 2015)
I'll update this as new questions come up, but here are some common questions about our Castle Siege events, This will be our second time using the castle!.

The sleeping arraignments include 2 16 bunk rooms, a 32 bunk room, and 4 Private 4 bunk rooms. The 4 bunk rooms will be made available for reservations for $100 per room (that's $25 a person), in the event of unreserved rooms, Npcs will be given preference via seniority as a thank you for their hard work. Reservations will be first come first serve, to reserve a room you must have pre-registered, You may pre-register as attending, just not PC or NPC on the form, starting September 1st, just note PC or NPC, a full registration will be required by the pre-registration dead line of October 15th at 11:59 PM. Room Reservation fees will be 'partly refundable' Meaning we'll attempt to relist them for you and give you whatever they go for in the event you have to cancel (and will credit any unrefunded amounts as a credit for future events). Room Reservations may not be transferred for more than they were reserved at (no scalping ^.^)

NPC guild members will also receive their usual discount.
