Kostume Kult Presents

HORNED BALL 2017 ~ Barbarian Horde ~ The Empire is falling as the “others” advance – crossing borders, climbing walls and thundering

across the open plains. Do you fight or flee? Feast or fornicate? This Year’s Horned Ball

the Empire has grown corrupt and stupid — and is ready to be taken…
