Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
come autumn, come harvest, come Harvest Festivals. This year, as in many years before, since the Dawn of Time itself, we celebrate the gift given to us by the Gods, remember friends and see friends before we get ready for the autumn storms and, following that, winter.
I am hosting the festivities in the Town in the Cliffs, in Lovely Shella - festivities, to which I invite you, dear reader! Shella is not large, but it has not stopped to surprise me with the amount of time and effort they put into their Harvest Festivals, this year also hosting the Fletching Cup and the Guard Cup, competitions of archers and swordsmen.
As every year, the Cabhair Group combines the festivities with a fundraiser for the education of children in warzones, nourishing the future of regions, who currently have none. Half of the proceeds of that day from all shops and peddlers will be donated to the Cabhair Group's funds.
The festival will be on the 23rd of Septembre, 2018 in Shella. In the appendix, you will find travelling information to the town, information about the town and the inns, the visa application (including the address to send them to, don't be frightened by the form), the berth application form (if you want to come with your own vessel) and the timetable.
Hope to see you in Lovely Shella!
Signed with the best of wishes,
Nora Cathlong of the Tribe of Cork
Hello and welcome to Celebrating a good Harvest!
Welcome to another Harvest Festival of mine, this time in Lovely Shella - a chance to meet old friends and make new ones, to explore new angles of your characters and your own writing abilities, and a place to definately have fun!
This is the OOC, the IC will hopefully begin on the 23rd, a Sunday. It will always be open for late arrivals.
Please keep in mind, that this is not a diplomatic event. Instead, you will play a more or less ordinary person, or several more or less 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...). Sadly, due to past experiences, the Tournament will be Selkie Only. However, if you want to give your musicians a spin, I'd be happy to hear your ideas. Concession stands will not be permitted this time as well.
Also, you will note, that there is no berth application form. There's a good reason for that, namely, that while I would welcome some details about the vessel your characters are coming with (please keep it reasonable - beneath 100 metres in length), the ships will play only a minor role. The focus are indeed the characters.
EDIT: A little note I would like to add: Your people can have been in Shella for a bit already by the time the IC starts. If you have any questions about what they could have done there, feel free to ask!
IC.
Sadly, we need...
