Sithire Announces Celebratory Festival (29.VII.487)
Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2017 6:19 pm
The Sithire was slow to take a formal role in Drache. Besides the retrofitting of Castle Black with spellglass windows, little business had come from the keep. The sithrangel's seat had been unoccupied for over a year, and despite having been a member of the interim council that had governed in Aldenbar's disappearance, there was a number of house keeping tasks that took priority. Negotiating for Aldenbar's family's release was one of those things, and with that safely concluded, she could move forward with other plans.
That noble family that had served Drache and Arangoth would also be retired to their Transdarianian estates. An oath of fealty was required for them to retain those lands, but once that business was taken care of, her desk was effectively cleared for everything else.
First order of business was the delayed celebrations of not only the end of the civil war, but her investiture as Sithire.
The messengers and criers had their fliers and rushed forth from Castle Black like so many ants scurrying away.
"Hear ye, hear ye! The Sithire declares a celebration festival! Tournament of Martial Prowess entries to be taken at the mayor's office!"
Their voices filled squares and streets as they made their way through the city. Fliers were posted on doors and sign posts in the various squares of Drache.
The flier reads:
OOC:
Actual date of the wedding and tournament TBD due to OOC scheduling.
Please sign up for the tournament on this thread including the character's name and which competition you're entering, armed or archery, weapon (if armed) and your hours of time availability with time zone. Only one character per competition.
Keep in mind that in the past, tournament bouts have lasted upwards of 3 hours, and to play through three brackets will be time investment heavy.
LAST DAY FOR SIGN UPS IS SATURDAY, AUGUST 5TH.
