sarahbarah 5023 Share Posted February 25 ISSUED BY HER ROYAL MAJESTY, AMAYA OF VENZIA c. 518 E.S. A VE EDLERVIK, JORSKDAG, also known as JOREN’S DAY, marks a festive occasion in Scyfling tradition, commemorating the initial meeting between St. Joren and St. Tara. This encounter played a pivotal role in dispelling the icy grip Winter held upon the world, allowing Spring to finally flourish. Spring, by GOD’s grace, has returned to the Dual Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, melting the northern frost that blanketed our soil. In homage to time-old traditions, Her Majesty has deemed it fit to celebrate the arrival of Spring by reviving the Jorskdag Festival she once hosted in her youth. JORTASLETTRN Jortaslettrn refers to the letters exclusively crafted in honor of Jorskdag, often exchanged among acquaintances or friends during the festivities. Typically, young individuals include small treats like candies, and some may embellish their letters with vibrant sketches featuring chickens, Jorskdag eggs, or other creative doodles. Adults, on the other hand, tend to convey warm wishes and sentiments in their letters. Some may choose to seal dried flowers within, symbolizing their affection for the recipient. MERCHANTRY Artisans, traders, and craftsmen from all corners of the Dual Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska shall converge to showcase their wares and talents. Stalls laden with intricate jewelry, handcrafted garments, and wooden crafts will further entice festival-goers to explore the array of offerings presented in the makeshift market. Should any merchant wish to display and sell their wares, they may contact Lady Ioanna Kortrevich, one of the Queen’s personal advisors. RABBIT RACES A particularly charming and entertaining tradition during the Jorskdag Festival is the annual rabbit race. The festival grounds will host a specially designed track wherein Haeseni-bred rabbits shall compete for the title of the fastest hopper in the Dual Kingdom. Participants will gather their fleet-footed rabbits, adorning them with colored ribbons indicative of their esteemed House or heritage. FALCONRY Falconry enthusiasts will showcase their majestic birds of prey, demonstrating the age-old art of training and hunting with these remarkable creatures. Attendees can witness awe-inspiring displays of aerial acrobatics and precision in honor of the forthcoming Spring. THE MAYPOLE At the heart of the Jorskdag Festival, the revelry will conclude with the beloved Haeseni Maypole dance. A tall, intricately adorned pole takes center stage, decorated with colorful ribbons and flowers that symbolize the blossoming of new life that Spring has bestowed upon the Dual Kingdom.

Parasolii 116 Share Posted February 26 Liesbeth-Marie stared at her own signature on the paper, positively thrilled at being involved in something so grand as a festival! To be assisting a Queen was exciting for the young girl, who squealed at it all before remembering she needed to get a new dress for such an occasion. "Oh- oh, Ea need to plan my outfit with Svetty!" She said to herself, running off to find her friend. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
