?What is Barovifest? ?

The harvest holiday of Barovifest was originally created after Barbov The Black’s victory over the Nzechs at the Battle of the Elks. Over many years, what began as a simple feast as adapted into one of the largest festivals in Hansetian history. It is also traditional for the drink known as ‘Yopil’ to be served in a heavy bounty, a mixture of Carrion Black with various fruits, such as apples and berries.

 

 

 ? Traditions and Festivities ?

 

The Burning of the Cattle - This main event of the festival is properly celebrated by burning five cows built from hay and sticks. This spectacle is usually accompanied by lively Highlander folk music and dancing.

 

Apple Bobbing & Squash Hurling - A simple event, but still filled with great excitement and competition, a great basin is filled to the brim with water before being filled with fresh apples. The first to grab three apples with their mouth will receive a prize. The latter event is to test a person’s strength, the first to hit three targets with a squash being awarded with a specially-crafted sword.

 

Mounted Pig Racing - Using a carrot tied to a stick, be the first one to lure the pig through the city of Markev to the finish line. The winner shall  be proclaimed ‘Lord of the Lard’ and given a special trophy upon their victory.

 

St. Karl’s Square shall play host to all vendors within the Kingdom of Haense that desire to show off their wares, a great show of the skilled craftsmen who reside within our lands. For any interested vendors who would like to display their goods at the festival, please send a bird to the Krempost Palace for inquiries!

"This has Analiese and Emma's special touch written all over it, I should go and praise them for this next I see them." Demetrius comments with a warm smile. "I will be sure to attend, perhaps even have a special lady with me too..."

Henrik Ludovar would smile upon hearing the news of another event

"Ah, this should be exciting."

Alana Grimm's eyes lingered upon the newly inked texts of the flyer, a soft smile tugging at her lips. "My dearest cousin," She murmured proudly, bobbing her head. "We'll definitely be in attendance, Alfred," She remarked to her betrothed- allowing the parchment to rest upon the wooden surface of their dinner-table.

A certain Grimm plans his evening, grazing over the missive with a nod. "How could I not attend? My cousin is a hostess of the event!"
