Alliance Midsummer Festival and Trademeet
-
Posters have been put up around the Camp, written in a steady hand and bearing the seal of the Alliance in the bottom corner
_Midsummer is almost upon us. In honor of the event the Alliance has called a Trademeet to be held in the Giantspire Valley and a call goes out to all in the lands to bring their tradegoods and coin.A veritable cornucopia of goods will be available, such as:
Weapons;
Armor;
Foodstuffs;
Fine cloths;
Books and scrolls;
Magical items;
Exotic dyes;and more besides!!
A festival is also planned to celebrate the day revered by so many religions. Hendry, the Innkeeper at the Alliance Arms Inn has spent the month restocking the Inn with the best of ales, stouts, wines and spirits.
A number of games have been organised for the entertainment of the crowd. Win prizes for archery, fisticuffs, magical duels, tracking and more! And if you don't wish to participate there is always coin to be made laying down a bet or two.
Given their turbulant history with the Alliance, and their recent attempt to fire the Alliance Arms Inn, no person who has, in the past or present, claimed allegiance with the murdering cut throats, bandits and rapscallions whom refer to themselves as the Eastland Marauders are welcome in the Valley. Any such who are discovered in our midst shall be thrown in the cells to join their 'friend' Barron Alburn.
However;_ ALL ELSE ARE WELCOME. _All the sentient races of Narfell whom the Alliance does not count enemy are invited to join the Trademeet. Though let it be known that a burden of peace shall be placed upon all who attend, be they human, elf, orc, kobold or gnome. Peace cords shall be issued upon entry to the Valley, binding weapons to scabbards. Those who remove their peace cords, or otherwise partake in any form of violent or disruptive behavior shall be removed from the Valley by one of the appointed Sherrifs.
Clerics whos' patrons consider this day holy are invited to attend the festival and lead worship amongst the crowd, as are any storytellers, musicians, actors, troubadors or entertainers of any kind more than welcome to practice their arts (and maybe pick up some coin in the process).
The festivites will begin at noon on Midsummer's Day and go on throughout the night. For those who arrive early, or remain late, lodging is available in the Alliance Arms Inn for a minimal price._
There follows a sketch outlining the route to the Giantspire Valley, and the Alliance Arms Inn. (One transition north from Atol's Bridge, then one transition west; watch out for bandits!)

ooc note
We originally planed this to be today, friday at 9pm gmt.
But the people doing the planing didnt know this was a big us holiday weekend.
Last night only 18-20 people on at a busy hour :x so I propose to retime it for this monday (3 days from now) at the same time, evening'ish gmt.
Plan is for it to be a repeating monthly event.
*note that we plan to hold auctions of player sold items. If you have anything that might be of more use to someone else you might get some decent sum of gold, a bring and buy sale!
