Kharajyr Celebration of Death and the Life After

[Rough reed parchments are nailed to notice boards across the Kingdom of Urguan and its allies, first written in Kharajyr glyphs, then translated into common and Dwarven. The missive is decorated in a vibrant orange and turquoise knotted border and written in bold black ink; the crest of the Mitzuul Grove is painted in the lower corned.]

The Temple of Mitzuul Grove invites any wishing to join the Kharajyr in a two-day celebration of the lives of those who have left this mortal world. Any wishing to help ease the passing of those spirits into the afterlife should seek the Temple of Metztli in the Mitzuul Grove when the sun is high in the sky on the 16th of Grand Harvest, bringing items and memories of the deceased. Additional activities will be hosted by the Temple in celebration of the departed's mortal life and passing into the next in Metztli's care.

A formal ceremony and ritual hosted by the Temple will commence as the moon rises on the next day for any who wish to participate or look-on.

Carvings of Gourds and Beets

‘As all inhabitants of the green mountains of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan prepare for conflict in the coming moons, the Kharajyr turn inward, toward the wellbeing of those that have fallen before them, honoring their sacrifice and journey before more spirits are added to the venerated ranks through war.

A poster would be recklessly plastered onto the wall of the museum, you’d see the handwriting was almost child-like in nature:

Greetings museum goers of Haense!

       The NGS and interested members of Haense have been cordially invited to the Mitzuul Grove by Rha'kir (Chaosgamer_) and his associates to participate in a cultural festival. It is not often that we are able to see Kharajyr culture with our own eyes so it is with great joy that the NGS would like to accept the invitation and extend it to all those in Haense who may be interested as well! Ash Adelaide (milksota) is looking to gather a small group to travel to Mitzuul Grove within a saints day! (Friday 4/2/21 3 pm EST)

(Those who wish to come should notify @chaos#7283 on Discord so we can have a proper head count!)

Festivities:

• Our hosts will be providing authentic Kharajyr cuisine! Ranging from burritos to hot chocolate.

• A game of Kharyjar ball will be played. A sport in which one must throw a ball through a hoop that is attached to a wall. First to three points wins!

• There will be bagged goods handed out at the end for all attendees plus a story time where the Kha will tell us more about their history!

      Rha’kir is also accepting donations for the costs of the trip but it is not required by any means.
