OOC Info Kenash Summer Calendar

[Vice]

As the Summer's blaze sets through the swamplands, opportunities to rise and fall arrive. ✥ A General Overview ✥ The Calendar of Events is a wonderful resource for PCs who are either looking to add a dash of local color to their posts or dive right on in and be a part of the action in a major way! Obviously, not every day is fleshed out because of the fact that life in Mizahar, while dangerous and exciting, is not necessarily so every day for an entire city. Ordinary lives fall to the general population, though for PC's, this may not be the case. Feel free to use the events in this calendar, but also blaze your own trail and meet new PC's and associate! Alliances form and dissolve, political entanglements become more complicated, and pleasures or misery are there to be found for whomever wishes it to be so, and some that don't! Use the Calendar of Events as you see fit, but be sure to review it often, as things will indeed change every season. Also, be sure to take a gander at the Seasonal Almanac, which presents the weather for every single day of the current season. It's just another way to add even more dimension to your already exciting posts. Long live Kenash! ✥ Events for Spring 514 AV ✥ The turn of Summer brings with it a new wave of change to Kenash, the mantle of Magistrate passing from Askara to Sitai, and with it, the dawn of a new regime. Spring's relative peace and quiet fades away as the Watchers are dismantled. Conflict, both violent and political seems to rise with the temperature as the Sitai bring about a new law that unsettles the other Dynasties. Political entanglements rise and continue, festering frustrations forming on all sides as violence ensues at the city's gates and beyond. Talk begins as the Magistrate speaks out to the Dynasties calling for independence in regards to keeping track of one's slaves. The Summer season brings heat with it, both physical in the climate and political as the arena simmers with possibilities. With the change in climate, there is an unsettling presence in the swamps, the Rujaro beginning again with their aggressive spree and attacks, Zith attacks happening on occasion, but quelled by mercenaries hired by individual Dynasties. What awaits in this climate? A grand pasture of possibilities, though in the midst of the chaos, Kenash remains pristine and polished. New fashions rise and others fall, galas and festivals coming into being as the Dynasties attempt to throw the mental state of Kenash out of its chaotic boundaries. Romance stirs in the city of Kenash, and all are invited to participate in it, one way or another. 1st - The First of Summer calls for a changing in the colours of the Watchtowers, though none see it transpire. Heavy fog sets over the city from the swamps, though it quickly fades. A new Magistrate is sworn into office, and Dervain Sitai is quick to make new laws and revise old ones. Kenash’s Rules and Regulations are read on the steps of his office. 8th- The Draer family find that more than 100 pounds of chocolate and three cases of perfume has been stolen from their stores. An investigation is set out to find the thieves. 11th - Many of the Dynasties (particularly the Rajor, Radacke, and Ackina) begin to whisper to one another in passing about the unjust state of one of the newly amended laws (see the Rules and Regulations page - here). A great deal of controversy ensues and the three Dynasties come to an agreement to spread their discontent to the other Dynasties. 12th - Several slaves are kidnapped, nothing is heard of their disappearance save for a single eyewitness account involving the Zith. Investigations ensue and a call for mercenaries to deal with the threat is issued. 14th - A small group of Zith is found in the outlying pastures of the Sea of Grass. Several corpses litter the path to their location, and a skirmish ensues - Mercenaries against Zith. If the mercenaries survive, a bounty is issued. 21st - The Lorak Dynasty - after several escapes that took place in the previous season, decide to fortify their plantation with a new set of guards and mercenaries. 23rd - Several of Banjemin Askara's laws are written out of the Seasonal Rules and Regulations, the attempt at alliance between the Sitai and Askara broken as arguments ensue. The Sitai seek out the Radacke Dynasty to replace them, while the Askara negotiates with the Morealis. 27th - Summer's blaze sets in, this day particularly longer and hotter than the rest. Makeup runs down the cheeks of Dynasty and freeborn women. Several slaves suffer heatstroke in the plantations and are treated at Radjud-Dalat. 32nd - The Rujaro attack the Draer and Radacke plantations respectively. The latter is fought off and several Rujaro die as a result, though the Draer plantation fails to meet the threat. Several guards die, and the Rujaro becomes feared once again as a stock of supplies arrives in the swamps from the Draer plantation. 35th - Slaves attempt a mass escape from the Draer plantation, and approximately seven succeed. Four move to join the Rujaro while the rest simply run off, never to be seen again. 36th - The Draer, noticing the spree of crime occurring at their businesses and plantation, decide to fortify their plantation and businesses with security. More than twelve guards, strongly-built and intimidating, are hired in total, two put in Draer's Chocolates, one in the perfumery and the rest at Draer Plantation. 46th- On the exact day of the mid-season, a wedding between two Dynasties takes place. The Radacke and the Sitai cement their alliance with the arranged union of two seventeen year olds. Lacking Cheva marks, the union is known by all to be purely political in term, and by consequence, talk between the other Dynasties commences, mere whispers to not disturb the peace. Such whispers are interrupted by the invasion of a violent psychopath, and a hunt for the man commences. 49th - Two escaped slaves (now Rujaro) are discovered and executed publicly. Complications ensue. 61st- Several Rajor talk of establishing an arena for slaves to fight in. The notion is denied by both the Magistrate when brought up to him and Shahessrajor, who punishes the Dynasty members for 'going behind her back.' 62nd -All of the previous Magistrate's (Banjemin Askara) curious and impractical laws are officially dissolved, the majority of the Dynasties agreeing to the change of pace. The Askara begin to feel more and more isolated from the rest of the Dynasties and withdraw from the public eye. 67th - The Magistrate announces that all Dynasties must be self-sufficient in the monitoring and policing of their slaves. A call to fortify the rest of the plantations is put into action. Each plantation (with the exception of the Draer and Lorak) is fortified with ten new mercenary guards, each armed with spears and a shortbow. 71st- An attempt on the Magistrate's life is made. Several accusations fly out, even pointing at Banjemin Askara and his Dynasty, but nothing can be proven. The would be assassin activated a glyph upon capture, and burst into flame. Nothing is gathered from his corpse, which is tossed into the ocean. An investigation is run, but the trail looks cold. 88th -The rivers running through Kenash flood, sucking two people into it. The Dynasties hire a Reimancer to clean up the mess, paying the mage handsomely for their efforts. 91st- With Summer's close imminent, the Dynasties call for a festival to welcome the Fall season. ***This season's Calendar was written by Vice. .
