AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

With midsummer festivals in full swing the settlements of Amia begin to prepare for the grand finale of Flamerule, the day that arrives every four years, Shieldmeet. Various faiths begin to prepare celebrations to honour their gods, bards begin to prepare poetry readings, and the peasants simply pray for good weather, cheap booze and (for the men) loose women.

//I'm cooking up a few ideas for this month, but if you have any that require DM assistance punt them my way!

The citadel of Barak Runedar has been a buzz with activity of industrious dwarves spoiling for a celebration. The citadel has been mucked out, scrubbed down, and shined up in hopes of showing their Revered Mother the glory and honor she rightly deserves. Shieldmeet has added a bit extra fervor into the mood with an additional ceremony planned. Thick limbs and beards hustle about readying the place for a fine affair.

// Going to try and be in game as early as possible. Not really sure if we NEED anything, we'll be there if you wish to add some flavor, thank you.

The night sky is briefly illuminated by seven, and then later on eight, gloriously bright stars that circle the Moon twice before stopping. Somewhere, deep within a cave, a werewolf growls in pain!

A few choice notices are placed within Endir's Point, they read:

Those would be warriors who wish to represent Endir's Point in the upcoming tourny are encouraged to attend a competition being held in the Skull Crag Monastry next cycle.
