If you are interested in exploring the underground of Talon's Roost, and the possibility of finding treasure and making ecological discoveries to document and profit off of, please meet in the capital during the month of Malin's Welcome. Gear, including rope, lanterns, and packed medical kits will be provided. It is recommended you bring respirators or masks, heavy padded clothing, and something to defend yourself with, as we are facing the unknown with this descent.</span></span>

<hr /><p style="text-align:center;">
	<span style="color:#ecf0f1;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The opening of the Vortice Arena is something perhaps unexpected, but something we’ve had quiet talks of for a while. A designated area for fights and such, and a source of entertainment and a chance to hone the skills of combat.</span></span>
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	<span style="color:#ecf0f1;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">We’ve plans for this, though! Not just the fighting of descendent against descendent, but also descendent against beast. Worry not! There will be no slaying of innocent creatures, taken from their homes. All animals will be conjured, controlled by the pre-chosen mage for the designated round.</span></span>
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	<span style="color:#ecf0f1;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">With that said, the event for this will be the fighting of animals! Without risk of significant harm, it is simply a challenge of how fast you can take the creature down. With each round, depending on how many people sign up for the competition, those that were the slowest in each round would be eliminated, as those who move on go against larger and tougher animals- perhaps even multiple of a kind!</span></span>
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	 
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	<span style="color:#ecf0f1;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Anyone can participate, mages, fighters, and anything in between! The prize to the winner  will be either an enchanted item or an enchanted weapon, and bets will be taken in by a council member, with half of those bets being distributed to the winner.</span></span>
</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
	<br /><span style="color:#ecf0f1;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Free foods and drinks will be given as well to those who attend! There will be <u>cake</u>.</span></span>

	<span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size:22px;">Once again, a festival of restoration blesses our great city- though we're no longer <em>just a city. </em>We're now a nation with bustling citizens, loving families, and new council members.</span></span>

	It has been nearly an elven year since it has been hosted, and it is again hosted for similar reasons- the rebirth of greatness and the pursuance of homeliness, and eagerness to see old and new friends visiting the town just as it has before.</span></span>

We've alcohol and we've virgin drinks, we've meat and we've vegetables. We've company for even the people who are usually alone!<br /><br />
	And who knows! Something special may come of this Festival....<br /><br />
	Meet us in Talon's Port on the 17th day of The First Seed, of the 21st year of the Second Era, to join in on the festivities!</span></span>
