Come one, come all!
The City of Ironcastle, its citizenry, the Swordmaidens of Carman Fea and the towns and villages along the Socair River invite all interested in a large celebration to the 2020 Ironcastle Harvest Festival!
This celebration, the largest of its kind in the Free Lands, will be held on the 20th of September 2020 in Ironcastle. We have an exciting itinerary planned for that day, from the competition for the Gealanacoinlín Cup, various concerts, skill demonstrations of the Swordmaidens and the SDF to the Ironcastle Motor Rallye.
The Old Town, Clais Castle and the New Town Districts will show their best, also in the ways of street art.
However, due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, which has everyone on high alert, I ask you to be careful and to keep in mind the official announcements and regulations.
I hope to see many of you healthy on that day!
Ayden Petrial of the Tribe of Fermanagh,
Mayor of the City of Ironcastle.
Hello and welcome to A Harvest Festival in the City of Iron!
Time sure flies, eh? Not long ago, we celebrated Spring and now the Harvest, but here we are - the grandest celebration in the Free Lands in the city, which is arguably the most 'modern-looking' one in the Free Lands. Outside of the Old Town, you will not find many timber buildings, that is for sure.
Ironcastle is the second-largest city in the Free Lands with 43,974 inhabitants including the Hinterlands and one of its industrial centers: Ironcastle Ironworks and Gabha Motorworks as well as a number of other industrial companies are seated here, on the banks of the Socair Rivers as it comes down from the Silver Mountains.
For this festival, there will be a few major changes from the usual formula:
- - The area covered is geographically far larger.
- Many more events are available for viewing and, to some extend, participating.
- You might have noticed, that there is no list of inns. In order to allow us all to jump right into the good part, your characters will already have taken up residence in an inn and are now ready to jump right into the fray.
- COVID-19 is a thing. I do not wish to discuss the measures taken by the Free Lands, they might be effective, they might not be. If you wish to discuss the pandemic, there is a thread for that and it is not this one. Fact is, so far, the Free Lands survived it rather well and thus can hold such a festival. For questions regarding the In-Character Implications of the Pandemic on this Roleplay, ask in this thread, especially when it concerns your characters - everything else goes elsewhere (most likely here).
So... who's up for a party?! : D
IC is up!
Before we go, however, we need...
