WINTER 515AV CALENDAR
RULES
SEASONAL CHALLENGES
1st: The season change is greeted by heavy snow falls that sees four inches of snow settle over Sunberth before the day is out.
2nd: The people of Sunberth collect together for one final push of hunting and foraging in order to prepare for the winter ahead.
5th: The symbols that had previously started to appear around Sunberth continue to grow in their numbers. They appear on all types of surfaces and nobody quite knows where they come from.
13th: Concern spreads throughout Sunberth that the Slag Heap Fire is burning dangerously low on firewood. People begin to frantically search for any viable firewood to feed the city's infamous fiery mascot.
15th: Citizens fear not! The Slag Heap burns with as much intensity as it ever has. The denizens of Sunberth celebrate in their typical fashion, with plenty of alcohol and drugs flowing. Though there are several brawls and some people suffer burns from falling into the flames, the celebrations are an all round success.
24th: The few citizens of Sunberth that had earlier claimed that this winter was not a harsh one are quickly silenced. The temperature drops drastically and several people, particularly the very old and very young, are lost to the winter.
37th: With the intense coldness of winter gripping Sunberth, the river that runs through the city has frozen over. Those brave enough venture onto the ice for skating and general Sunberthian fun. On more than one occasion the ice breaks and three poor souls fall into the water. Only two are recovered.
42nd: Jillene Ironside, of the Sunset Quarters Orphanage advertises that help is needed in order to provide for the children. Any skill is put to good use and all help is appreciated. [Submoderated Event
53rd: Three men and two women are hung publically at the gallows. Before they are killed, all three shout out an ominous warning of: They're coming, they're coming! that spooks even the hardiest of Sunberthian souls.
63rd: Zeke of The Fence hosts a sale unlike any he has held before. All of the items are hidden away in boxes and he provides only the most trivial of descriptions [Submoderated Event]
69th: A ship docks at Sunberth and brings with it a collection of new slaves. They are all in a terribly sorry state, and many do not survive their first few days in Sunberth. Those that do survive, however, speak of a tent city and their beloved mounts
72nd: The surviving slaves that arrived on the 69th are auctioned off. There are a selection of men, women and children. A few try to escape, only to be beaten down by the harsh Sunberth crowd.
82nd: With growing concerns over the appearing symbols, a party of particularly brave (or foolish) individuals heads into The Rotting Mansion to investigate the abandoned building for clues. The party is led by a headstrong and particularly thick-skulled ex-Daggerhand, who appears to be certain that it's the ghost of Robern "Rotter" Dalagnar causing all this trouble. [Moderated Event]
89th: With Spring around the corner, Sunberth slowly begins to defrost and the snow once again melts away. Much to the shock and fear of the Sunberth populace, the melted snow reveals hundreds of copies of that mysterious symbol engraved into cobblestones and even frozen corpses.
91st: Sunberth welcomes the New Year in its typical fashion, greeting 516AV with drunken songs and bad hangovers. Cheers!
