From their perches atop the withering foliage, the caws of crows sound off stone and dirt, echoing through Ikur’fiyem. Autumn had arrived, and even in Fin’hesin, that land of stout winter, did life wither. Green turned to orange, orange to brown, and brown to nothing. Brisk winds from the north chilled to the bone; a harbinger of what was to come - for following autumn would be winter, and the winter of Fin’hesin was a deep, lifeless freeze. And so, while they could, fauna and ‘fenn alike scavenged the lands, picking them bare in preparation for their hibernation. Those who failed to secure their resources before the deep freeze would wither away and perish in Wyrvun’s frigid breath. It was a time for competition; a time for war.
And so, among the faithful of Isvinity, word was spread of the impending Equinox of War - to be held at the very height of autumn.
“Sons and daughters of Aelthos -
As our wars at home and abroad draw to a close, we find ourselves amidst the withering of all that is green and good; a different type of war now stands before us. It is one we fight with each seasonal cycle - one of survival. As our northern summer comes to an end, and winter approaches, I invite you all to celebrate the Equinox of War with me at the height of autumn. It is a time for you to help our Principality gather food in preparation for winter’s hibernation, and prove your martial strength. We shall hold a hunt, whereby the individual to collect the most pelts will be awarded the title Ihnsil’fenn. Thereafter, come and feast in the tavern, and listen to stories of martial prowess.
Further, a melee tournament shall be held, and the winner crowned Wyrvun’s Champion. They shall be granted a professionally forged weapon, and may ask one thing of their prince - to be delivered so long as it is within both power and reason.
This autumn, our invitation extends to our cohabitants in the Principality of Nor'asath as well. I look forward to bearing steel with you."
