Summer 516
Event Calendar
Event Calendar
The watchtower flashes red and lets the world know that you need to prepare for winter is on her way. In Avanthal, it's a little different. The people love Morwen and miss her during the Winter season but instead of preparing for crappy weather, they steal chances to enjoy the company of their beloved queen. Parties, festivals and any excuse for revelry are certainly welcome. As the season winds on, the days grow slightly longer and the air gets warmer though not by much. Storms become less frequent but more turbulent and seeking shelter when caught outside the city walls is a must.
- [D] = Additional details will be provided once an event has been claimed.
[M] = I will be moderating Morwen for these events. However, anyone may claim and start them.
[E] = Everyone may create their own thread from this event is they so choose.
1st – Fall has arrived! The Vantha gather at the Smoldering Embrace to mark the change of season. There are more whispers than normal given some of the strange events of Summer. Morwen addresses the crowd and gives the lineup for the Fall Games. [M]
2nd-6th ❄The Fall Games❄
- ❄ 2nd - Wrestling: Free for all to enter but the Icebears have their own category
❄ 3rd - Ianharo: A new game is introduced *
❄ 4th - Ice Watch Joust: The members of the city's elite joust from the backs of their great kelvics.
❄ 5th - Dog Sled Race: The race runs around the city, to three different shelter rings and then back to the port.
❄ 6th - Awards Ceremony & Celebration: The ceremony is rather dull aside from underhanded jokes about the contestants. The celebration starts at the end of the dog sled race and goes well into the next day and night. It is mostly young people and most of them are single. Drinking and debauchery abound but everything is capped off by a streak mob. After enough liquor has spilled, the wild side erupts in one massive group of naked people running around the city wall. (If you do not have Ice Reaving, you cannot run naked.)
18th – Several hundred white owls of various sizes and breeds flock to the city. They perch anywhere and everywhere lining the walls and buildings. For three days and three nights, they sing beautiful music. Harmonies abound and all of the people stop and listen. Tears of joy are shed, artists draw inspiration and everyone feels a great sense of peace and love. [E]
27th – The Snowsong Arvinta is damaged in the night. People are missing and there are few clues to be found. [D]
36th – Hunters return to the city and tell of how several shelter rings were either destroyed or vanished. [D]
54th - Huge chunks of ice break free from the northern shelf and float into the sea. [D]
60th - Half of the graves in the cemetery open or collapse. At the stroke of midnight, flickering images of the dead appear to many people, some even to family. A warning is issued of a great fiery doom. [E] *~Players may roll in chat for a chance to ask questions of their dead relatives. 50/50 chance plus any skills (persuasion, etc)~*
72nd – A trio of Ice Watch members are found dead near the Crystal Hall. [D]
90th – This is supposed to be the day Morwen leaves for her season long journey to spread Winter to the world of Mizahar. The crowds are sullen and when the goddess appears she explains that she has important news. [ST Opener]
