A Science Symposium

Fellow scientists and scholars, engineers of all disciplines, and intellectuals of higher degrees—my associate Lucion Sullas and I would like to cordially invite you to the upcoming science convention. Said convention will be held within the Silver City of Haelun’or in a few Elven weeks. ((The event will kick off on—Sunday, August 12th: 2:30pm GMT-8, 10:30pm GMT; Monday, August 13th: 6:30am GMT+8 .))

The Main Events

Lectures and Demonstrations: We invite any folks who would be interested in presenting discoveries, inventions, or other science discussion topics to speak in the college lecture hall.

Scientific Exchanges: Alchemists, engineers, and all others are welcome to bring their goods to trade. Ideally this would be for specialty goods such as alchemic ingredients, potions, or medical tools. Books, of course, are also welcome for exchange. Small trading booths may be provided for those who sign up for them. The earlier one signs up for a booth the more likely they will be granted one. (See below to sign up.)

Awards Ceremony: Those that have presented particularly impressive scientific discoveries during the lectures will be recognized towards the end of the convention—possibly with an additional monetary reward.

Dinner: A meal will be provided at the end of the convention for attending scientists to unwind and enjoy intelligent conversation over food and drink.

If you are interested in attending, please sign the list below with the following information:

Rules Regarding Entrance and Pleasantries within Haelun'or

As I am sure you are no doubt aware, reader; Haelun'or is not a city one of a non-mali'aheral background enters easily. We are quite protective of our motherland, and we will be expecting certain protocols to be followed.

1. Armour is not to be worn by any non-citizens within the city. Visitors will be searched before entry. Visitors may carry a single sword or axe for their own personal comfort, however, know that the sillumirs and other armoured citizenry will take care of any arising security problems. Those who disregard this rule shall be met with scorn, derision, and immediate removal.

2. Violence of any kind will not be tolerated. Haelun'or is a city of peace and tranquility; therefore making most citizens predisposed to its current state. Those who disregard this rule will be met with scorn, derision, and immediate removal.

3. Theft of any books within the eternal College will not be tolerated. Visitors are allowed a single tome for note-taking purposes. Those who disregard this rule will be met with scorn, derision, and immediate removal.

4. Those that simply "turn up" on the day of the event will not be allowed entry. Proper procedure must be completed before your name is added to a guest list for our guard's approval. Those who disregard this rule will be met with scorn, derision, and immediate removal.

On an end note regarding the citizenry: Speak respectfully, and you shall be shown respect. If a citizen requests you to cease an action, you shall respect their wishes. The citizens of Haelun'or are themselves all leaders in their own right. Those who disregard politeness will be met with scorn, derision, and immediate removal.

((Those who posted on the previous thread are already recorded on a guest list and don't need to post below. On a side note: Many thanks to all the folks who signed up on the previous post! Also, I'd like to thank Mithradites for helping edit and plan everything, putting up with my endless questions, and writing the "Rules Regarding Entrance and Pleasantries Within Haelun'or." There's absolutely no way I would've, or could've, planned all this stuff up without him. Happy Science-ing everyone!))
