Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Spring is near and as such, the time for the Spring Festivals is coming up, too – we, that means the Selkie, celebrate a festival known as Grian an Earraigh, roughly translating to 'The Spring Sun', celebrating the equinox and, with it, the beginning of spring, the time of blooming, seeding, renewal and rebirth.
Traditionally, it's also seen as the collective birthday celebration of the Selkie, as we count our age by the springs we had seen – I, for example, am of vintage 1962, turning 55 Springs on that day. That, however, is another matter.
As it is, I happen to host a Spring Festival with several friends of mine, combining it with the celebrations of the Greyfox Cup, a competition of Marcach, and with a fundraiser for the Cabhair Group, who collect money for the education of children in warzones – as children in these areas are the future of these areas and this future must be nourished. Half of the proceeds of that day from all shops and peddlers will be donated to the Cabhair Group's funds.
This Spring Festival happens on the 20th of March 2017 in the City of Cuan at the southern edge of the Mór Land.
In the appendix, you will find travelling information to Cuan, information about the city and the inns in the city, the visa application (including the address to send them to, don't be frightened by the form) and the timetable, including the tournament plan for the Greyfox Cup.
Hope to see you in Cuan!
Signed with the best of wishes,
Gwen Banphrionsa of the Tribe of Cavan
Come one, come all and be welcome, friends!
Welcome to another Spring Festival hosted by me, a chance to meet ordinary people from other countries in the setting of a Spring Festival of the Selkie. This is the OOC, the IC will be up on the 20th of March (hopefully, no promises).
Please keep in mind, that this is not a diplomatic event. Instead, you will play an ordinary person, or several ordinary persons, depending on your liking, who visits the festival, has fun (hopefully), meets people, maybe even has a little adventure along the way (I have a few little somethings planned...), but sadly, due to past experiences, the Tournament will be Selkie Only. However, if you want to have a stall or want to give your musicians a spin, I'd be happy to hear your ideas. Your options for the enjoyment of this festival and RP are nearly limitless.
The RP itself will start on the 20th of March (hopefully) and will always be open for new/late arrivals.
IC!
We also, sadly, need a set of...
