Midsummer Festival"]The warm days of Flamerule draw to an end and with it the long season of planting the seeds for the harvest that now is to come. Take a well earned break from the long days on the fields and come visit Peltarch. The city offers you an enjoyable fair and much entertainment, lasting the entire day of Midsummer and deep into the shortest night of the year.
Several competitions will be held, most notably we invite all capable of fighting to participate in the tournament for the grand midsummer prize. All you need to bring is thirty gold coins and up to two weapons. All of your skills and tricks will be allowed as long as they are not a show-stopper. Which means no healing, no invisibility, no darkness or other means to hinder the sight, and no items aside from the weapons.
For those not quite as skilled in one on one combat, we offer other discplines like archery to compete in and possibly win a prize.
The festival will be held on the plains east of the city herself.
Come one, come all!

((This Saturday, 29th March at around 8 pm GMT (that's 10 pm for CET, or 1 hours and 30 mins later than the time of this post) will hopefully turn into a proper festival in Peltarch's dockside tavern, the Lucky Ferret.
Let's try to make this festival properly seedy and dark!
Special kudos to Nilla for continued support and to Zyphlin for getting life back to Peltarch! And of course to all the people who have visited the festivals in the past. And those who'll come this time, of course!))Copies of this poster turn up in and around Peltarch, but can also be found in the other bigger towns as well as small hamlets in region of Narfell.

Day of the Axe"]Peltarch is a place of civilization, of culture and of commerce. But she is settled in a barbarian country. The Day of the Axe aims to bring the barbarian spirit into her walls! This is not a festival for the weak of heart! But those who wish to see the barbarian way of fighting should come on Midsummer to the Lucky Ferret Inn.
The various smaller events among others will allow everyone a shot at dwarven lock-picking, no offense meant to those fine masters! The main event, true to the name, will be a tournament of axe-fighting. Proper barbarian duels right in the Lucky Ferret!
Even if you don't consider yourself strong in armed fighting, you'll still stand a chance winning one of our special surprise prizes! Collectors will go crazy!
If you wish for a very special Midsummer festival, visit the Lucky Ferret Inn!
Come one, come all!

((Because of a little misunderstanding… with quite extensive consequences...there's now a vote going on in the senate... about the festivals ^^ Might have to move the whole thing to the Ferret, though... Posters might be... ahem... retroactively changed since ICly they probably weren't up two months before the event...))

Torin Bravickus sees one such poster whilst strolling about Peltarch and begins muttering.
I hope the lad is quite prepared to pay in -advance- and has FULL senate approval. All that trade that's going to interfere with….
(Let's listen to instructions shall we? adjusts tie)
-
((Oh, just for those who don't yet know! Morikahn's devs implemented a system that allows everyone to use whips, even without the exotic weapon proficiency! So… that's not a reason not to come!))

((This Saturday, 1st September at around 8 pm GMT (that's 10 pm CET, or 2 hours and 30 mins later than the time of this post) will hopefully turn into a proper Greengrass (spring) celebration outside Peltarch on the eastern plains. Actually ended up having to do it in the Ferret….
It's been a while since we had a Euro festival. So, let's try to make this one nice and fluffy. As always Kudos to the Norwick crew of the Fight Night as well as to all the people who have visited the festivals in the past. And those who'll come this time, of course!))

Greengrass Festival"]The days of the Claw months pass by slowly, and now it is time to welcome the warmth of the spring and bring about the Melting. Once again we invite each and everyone to Peltarch and to a little different way to approach the coming summer: The Day of the Whip! Still fit to give you the hope and the strength to bring about the summer and make the harvest real and rich.
The competitions will all be centered around the usage of a whip. A tool used often to drive on animals, but seldom used as a weapon. During the fair you will see all the various other uses a whip can be put to! For those brave or just willing enough to join the competitions we promise a challenging tournament as well as easier, simpler competitions where simply everyone stands a good chance to win one of our prizes!
If you wish for a very special Greengrass festival, visit the Lucky Ferret Inn!
Come one, come all!
//Edit to reflect inabilty to understand the SDM properly…
Thanks Dora, though, for warning me ahead of time

((Midwinter festival is over! Thanks to everyone who showed up! I hope you enjoyed it! Special thanks to Yith and Coaan who kindly did the DMing… AND the porting to the frozen ship! Great stuff that
Also Kudos to Karnivorr who helped with the running behind the scenes and LastRight who helped with the running before the curtain
Now we just have to manage to make them shorter!
Keep tuned in for the next!))

2000GMT == 1500 EST == about 0400 Singapore == 0600 Australia(Queensland)
Go see here, too.

I cant convert times so whats that in EST time?

If Eza can make it without getting kicked out, I'll be there

Midwinter is also apparently a particular holy day for the following:
Calling Down the Thunder - Talos
Endless Revel of Life - Sharess
The Retreat - Red Knight
Midwinter (Night) - Auril
Remembrance of the Dark Court Slaughter (Night) - ShevarashI'm not sure how widely know what their faithful get up to is, but could be interesting. I think it might tempt fate, for instance, to eat animals holy to Auril on one of her great feast days. Unless you really wanted to try to offend a goddess.

((This Wednesday, 21st March at around 8 pm GMT (that's 9 pm CET, or roughly 8 hours after the time of this post) will hopefully turn into a proper midwinter celebration outside Peltarch on the eastern plains.
I'm kind of back for a bit, so I thought I could as well pick up where I left. Let's see how Wednesday works for you guys
As alway kudos to Lucid and Maythor who run such a well perceived, regular event already sucessfully! And to all the people who'll appear!))

Midwinter Festival"]Frost has come and stayed. And now that the days slowly regain some of their length, it's about time to get out and celebrate a bit! So take a break from sitting in front of your own fire and come to Peltarch to enjoy the shared warmth of many fires and buy the best furs available. Of course there will also be no lack of food and drinks!
Once more several competions will be held, ranging from building snow-men, -dwarves, -ogres or -lizards up to heavily armored fighting. True to the snow packed scenery there will of course be other fitting competions, like a snowball fight, or for the very daring a dive into the icelace!
The festival will be held on the plains east of the city herself.
Come one, come all!

I wasn't able to stick around for long (those guards on -the list- now :p), but the time that I was able to spend there was fun. I hope that Ezachiel will be able to stick around next time
-
No complaintts, any grumbling from Jerrs end was at Kull for his 'explanation' of rules.
I had a good time from start to 'gotta go'

((Highharvestide is over! Thanks to everyone who showed up! And special KUDOS to Yith (who agreed to help out on short notice), Andelas (who kindly aided in DMing by making elf toast and other things ;), Karnivorr (who provides invaluable help) and Katebush (whose Ocean helped making the whole show run smoother)
Sorry for all the little issues and confusions, with the team based things. Team Pink (or purple?) won in the end by half a point. Kull received the prize (lots of cash
and Team Blue's Yolande got the second prize (not quite as many coins)I hope you had a bit of fun, despite the spiders who showed up
I enjoyed myself quite a bit If you like, post your ideas concerning the team based fights. Did you like it? Which part of it did you like? Which kind of challenge would you like to see again? Which rather not?))

((This Saturday, 20th January at around 8 pm GMT (that's 9 pm CET, or 90 mins earlier than the time of this post) will hopefully turn into a proper highharvestide (fall) celebration outside Peltarch on the eastern plains.
It seems we might be able to get enough funds and sufficient people show up to do this on a bi-weekly basis! As alway kudos to Lucid and Maythor who run such a well perceived, regular event already sucessfully! And to all the people who'll appear!))

Highharvestide Festival"]The burning hot days of the summer slowly pass away. Throughout Eleint you worked hard under the unforgiving glare of the sun. Now, take a break from the harvest and travel to Peltarch to enjoy a fair and celebrate a succesful and rich harvest that should last you and all of us throughout the slowly coming winter.
Of course there will be once more several compeitions, this time teams will compete for the highharvestide prize. Among the competitions to be won are such simple things as a fight with sickles, but also the skill in dousing a horrible fire will be required. We also hope to give you a little mage duel. But the most important competion will be the chicken chase!
The festival will be held on the plains east of the city herself.
Come one, come all!

((Greengrass is over. There were actually 16 people in the melee! And 18 made the archery contest. I'll make a rumor post about all the happenings later, unless someone beats me to it
For now…
A big, big THANK YOU to Nilla and LowerDenizen (who kindly agreed to help out as DMs, providing lots of stuff like flowers and also had Lacey herself come out of her store and bring girls and deliver those flowers!), also special thanks to Karnivorr (who had Sabre dress up as a barmaid) and to Besk, William and Call who helped out with the oiling and webbing and generally thanks to everyone who showed up and partook in the revelry!
I hope you guys had fun ^^
I for my part certainly want to see those girls dance next time again! ;))

That's 3pm EST on Saturday 6th Jan.
Keira will almost certainly be there. She has a bone to pick with Grag.

//Unfortunately your Usual Barmaid will be in a plane at that time returning to the uk

what time does that equate to EST?

Greengrass Festival"]Finally the cold days of winter are past. With the beginning of Tarsakh the sun takes its time again to warm the first few plants that have sprung to life. Take the time to travel to Peltarch to enjoy a fair fit to give you the strength to endure the rest of the year. And let us all celebrate the first dawn of Mirtul.
