Celebration of the Winter Solstice

CELEBRATION OF THE WINTER SOLSTICE 

 

 

[Music]

 

Winter, known as a season of desolation, comes anew with new meaning. 

 

At the end of this elven year, the State of Irrinor will host a winter festival. All of Irrinor and her allies are welcome to attend. Below is a list of what is to take place. In addition, there is a form for those interested in hosting temporary stalls to sell their holiday wares. 

 

Events are listed in order of commencement. 

 

 

THE OPENING CEREMONY

 

A speech shall be made by Chieftain and Chieftess, Allora and Artanis of Clan Caerme’onn. 

 

THE SWORD IN STONE

 

For the youth of Irrinor, there will be a chance to pull a sword of Amaethon from its stone imprisonment. There will be a fee of 10 minae per try. Those who are successful in pulling the sword will not only win the relic itself but a plushy of Amaethon or the Silent Beast! 

 

[It should be noted that swords pulled are forged by Irrinite smithies and are in no way actual relics from the mani himself. This is solely for the entertainment of the youth.] 

 

THE OFFERING TABLES

 

Various offering tables will be set up to honor the mani of Amaethon. All are encouraged to bring goodies or trinkets they see fit to bring to the God of Fatherhood. 

 

THE PLAY OF AMAETHON AND THE SILENT BEAST

 

A play penned by the collective minds of Clan Caerme’onn will be hosted to honor the tale of Amaethon and the Silent Beast. The play will take place an elven hour past the start of the festival in the Irrinor tavern. 

 

The piece shall be narrated by Allora Caerme’onn and will star the chieftain and initiate pair of Artanis and Anaris. 
    
THE COSTUME CONTEST

 

Those in attendance are welcome to enter the costume contest. Costumes must follow the theme of Amaethon and the Silent Beast or any other major symbol of the Winter Solstice. The contest will take place after the play and contest to the following prizes: 

 

1st Place : 
1000 Minae and the Crown of Winter
2nd Place : 500 Minae 
3rd Place : 250 Minae
