Tournament of ‘The Soldier’ [!] An artist's portrayal of ‘The Soldier’ within the night sky. The Soldier. A mighty warrior within the night sky, a sign of the strength and unity of the citizens of Celia’nor - the figure amidst the galaxy above forever defending the city of Fi’andria. This unity is something that with all the uncertainty of our worldly circumstances must be well treasured. Therefore, this tournament stands not only as a reminder of our cooperation, but our strength as descendants. I T I N E R A R Y CONFLICT ON HORSEBACK As the name depicts, starting off the event will be a jousting tournament held in the typical manner, upon the back of a noble steed. Armour as well as the lances will be provided to the competitors - although the bringing of a horse is entirely their responsibility. First place will receive a grand prize of 200 mina as well as a custom blade created by the fantabulous Doorsyntheia Keyleth, whilst second place will receive 100 mina. UNDEVIATING SKIRMISH Following the Jousting Tournament will be the main attraction: the melee tournament. Consisting of fair duels between the honourable duelists gathered, this portion of the championship will be nothing less than interesting. Armour and weapons will, once again, be provided to the competitors. First place will receive a grand prize of 200 mina as well as a custom blade created by the fantabulous Doorsyntheia Keyleth, whilst second place will receive 100 mina. [ This section of the Tournament is PvP based, be warned. ] CONCESSIONS During the duration of the event, there will be a variety of beverages being served to the audience whilst overlooking the fights to be ensued.

Auro'ra beams as her optics reached the end of the missive, the 'aheral taking a moment to skim over the contents a final time before extending the parchment to her siblings. "May this tree bear fruit." She utters.

"He has failed to mention her two right hands!" A certain 'aheral exclaims.

Para'dine’s Got Talent Gifted, talented, accomplished. Words all used to describe an individual with a natural aptitude for a subject or hobby.

Twilight Masquerade The declaration of an heir is a momentous occasion to be celebrated by all, an affair to be remembered and rejoiced by the populace as the next in line to inherit Para’dine is named.

Auro'ra Castington pales at the sight of the extensive list of invitations, a wave of panic coursing through her as she thought of how many drinks she'd have to brew... " What is this? A chaRITY? "

Make it last forever, friendship never ends.

Festival of the Winter Stag [!] The Valurir of Para’dine was still and silent as clumps of thick and dense clouds were ushered inwards by flurries of cold wind, successfully hiding the formerly vibrant hues of the wide blue yonder. The Lady of Para’dine, Amisra Akaln’riv, smiles softly as she watches intricate frozen raindrops fall gracefully upon the land through her studies window. The tip of the pure white quill within her hold was tainted by ink, betraying her current activity as composing letters. To the laurir, lliran, and citizenry of Celia’nor, The days seem to pass, but the wonders of the world do not remain fleeting. I do hope that the environment surrounding you remains peaceful as it has been here in the Valaurir of Para’dine. In celebration of the everyday idyllic nature within this great land, I wish to invite all who wish to join for a period of festivity! The first snow of Para’dine is one which symbolises not only new beginnings, but past days within our city. And thus, we wish to celebrate with various events being held at para’dine during the Grand Harvest and Sun’s smile! Travel to Para’dine to experience the life of wonder and mystery. A variety of events testing skill, courage, and even a keen eye are being hosted for this two-month long festive period! Perhaps, even one of our very own Noble Winter Stags will be there to ring in the new season… E V E N T S C A L E N D A R The Grand Harvest Ants on a Log A true battle of balance, strength, and wit! Competitors will be challenged to push one another off two floating logs in Para'dine's lake! The participant who comes out on top will be awarded 200 mina and 2 free drink vouchers for the Honeycomb Tavern! Unleash the Ducklings! The Para’dine ducklings have hatched within the new season. We must help to release these adorable balls of feathers and joy into the lake to swim with their own! After a total amount of 30 ducklings have been released, any remaining can be kept and cared for by participants. Watch out for the lucky white duckling! Drunk Caterpillars To end the day, the Honeycomb Tavern will be hosting a drinking competition starring the Lady Akaln'riv's very own concoction: Silver Mead! The winner will be awarded 250 mina! Para’dine is not responsible for any injuries sustained during or after this event Sun's Smile Legendary Hunt for the White Stag A competition in which participants will be tasked to hunt down the great white stag - a deer that has eluded the Lord of Para’dine himself for decades - or to catch the most deer overall. Despite being a group activity, it's everyone for themselves! The winner will be given the opportunity to keep the white stag’s hide and 200 mina. Lantern Release In celebration of the previous festivities winner, lanterns handcrafted by the esteemed Adiler talonnii will be provided to the guests to release over the Para'dine lake. An idyllic, relaxing way to end the event and to signify a new beginning within our lands.

[!] The pale 'aheral hums thoughtfully as she sets aside the missive, folding it neatly before tucking it away in her bookshelf. Perhaps sending a bird in response to such a missive would be beneficial. She hopes and prays her bird won't be shot down again. Laurir Raziel Amethil, First and foremost, ahernan for presenting such a great opportunity to the curious audience in Celia'nor. As such, you must've received a bountiful amount of letters before mine - but this does not deter me. I have been living within the domain of Celia'nor for a hefty portion of my life, but despite this fact I have come to realize that I've never truly learnt Celia'nor's history, and neither do I know of our culture. There have been countless times where I've been questioned upon such matters but could only really muster the basics. This is knowledge I wish to learn only to spread and help teach Celia'nor's generations to come as well as curious travellers. The arcane arts inspire me. To see that something as destructive as fire can be used for something as simple and wholesome as lighting a candle or creating a vast display of light in the form of fireworks is intriguing. The idea of there being a limitless mass of emptiness in which voidal mages draw their power is a concept I only wish to study further. I wish to spread the wonders of magic with the rest of Almaris and - should the day come - teach it to those similar to myself. I think you can assist me in my endeavor. I will have you know that I have already began to meddle with the Voidal Arts. I hope this won't pose as too much of a problem should you decide to teach me. ~ Auro'ra Keyleth-Castington

Auro'ra Keyleth-Castington suspiciously moves her gaze to her favourite duckling, Waddleton V, after reading the missive.

"Pumpkin Paladin of Paradine?" The 'aheral chuckles from the depths of her emptying room, household items kept neatly in stacked crates that were needed desperately to be moved. "How clever! I could name a few who'd love the title.. maybe even more than I do."
