Winter Solstice's End Celebration
Calendar: Cimmeria

*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
Hail to the clans and denizens of the four corners, you are all invited to attend the celebration of the ending of the Winter Solstice. As the ice melts, we awaken with renewed vigor. It is a time of dancing, of feasting, a rejoice of the heart and a clearing of mind and soul. As our clan seeks forth to hunt, we invite those brave enough to endure the chills of Hyboria to venture to Adharca Cathair for feasting, dances and tests of skill, speed, brawn and even of the mind. Those who are marked victorious will also receive awards.

With this invitation comes a warning, however. Once you enter Adharca Cathair, you are considered for this night alone Cimmerian. Cimmerians do not speak of gods or praise them. Crom does not accept praise. Cimmerians have no liking for magics, though we will concede use of them in showing your skill of hand to hand outside our gates. Cimmerians know that an ill-turned word will often bring a fist in rebuttal, so all who enter are asked to place previous scuffles aside. Any who raise trouble shall instantly find a blade to their neck to be deposited outside immediately.

Our celebrations will include:

1. Horseback jousting
2. The run of the mammoths (Last mammoth standing wins)
3. Riddles to test the mind
4. Hand to hand combat (PVP, last one standing rules)
5. Minstrel's tales (best short story/song wins. Must be original)

OOC:

Date: February 7th at 6 PM CST/ 7 EST, in Lacheish Plains - Adharca Cathair.

Any PVP will be held outside the walls so there'll be no guard attacks and we ask everyone be ungrouped before hand so our healer can group invite and rez any who may die in the event of death. You do not have to fight to death, you may decide beforehand to a certain time or percentage of health. And you also have the ability to ask for hand-to-hand (meaning no weapons, no spells).

This is a purely RP celebration, so everything will be done IC. We will immediately halt and "exit" any griefers of any form.

The celebration (Also known as Imbolc or the lactation of the ewes) is fully IC in situation. I've had a few questions already about if people have to bring Cimmerians. That isn't the case.

To say everyone is Cimmerian that night means that no matter if you're Stygian or Aquilonian, Zingaran, Aesir, Vanir or whatnot... we are going to be congenial to everyone. You're on friendly ground.

We don't expect people to suddenly drop their gods or suddenly not speak about them. I'm sure many people will slip and speak about Set. Or Mitra. Or even Crom. But we would prefer no one come to arms about theology discussions, so we ask that any conversations about gods be kept to a minimum. This is more a meet and greet as well as a chance to have fun with a few friendly competitions.

Amazons lined up after the FFA

A very Elkhorn-y prize to the crazy Amazon victors, next time you guys may wanna use "GUARD LINE DO NOT CROSS" tape to show where the boundary is.

Sorry for the murder of that poor insane man, I had a moment of weakness. Her Majesty put me in the dungeon for the night again.

(I had some company tho )

Oh, and grats to Wegluv for answering my riddle in like, 2 sex.

I swear, I didn't tip him off ahead of time.

The words are partly cut off it was: "What in the jungle, has four legs, three bows, seats, two backs, and rows?"

I'm glad that those who attended enjoyed themselves very much and I want to thank everyone who came. I expected a little bit of brawling here and there, honestly, and we could hardly fault you for the insane man's death as many seemed to ask if they could do so (both in and out of guild). Though I do wish to apologize to him, nonetheless, because his oddness... along with Itan's and Kelenvar's naked show-down was very interesting for the night!

We hope very much that our Beltain in May will be just as successful, with more prizes. And everything will be mapped out more, don't worry.

BTW - to Asphodel and Lunai, you two certainly were harvesting that night, weren't you? I hope the basalt, oak, gold and duskmetal went to good use.

Sorry I missed out on this. Sounds like a lot of fun. Here's to hoping I don't miss the next one.

Allomi, don't we have any screenshots of our own, like of the Mammoth fights, or even a group shot of the Elkhorns standing in front of the Keep? I'd have taken some had I not been on the phone most of the night and if my computer were capable of doing anything above the most basic level of graphics.
