Event Description

IC Notes:

To the Allied Forces of the Realms,

The time we have all feared is upon us, and the hour grows dark as I pen these words. The forces of Edwyn Rainecourt lay siege to the lands of Rathkeale with renewed vigor, and the shores of Rockwood are bloodied with conflict.

Our scouts report columns of skeletal soldiers stretching for leagues surging out of Necron and moving with singular purpose to the east. They are accompanied by necromantic constructs and foul abominations that defy description. I implore you- gather your banners and muster your forces to Caelkirk for organization and deployment. The Lich’s atrocities demand a unified response.

Together, we will turn the tide and carve our victory by cunning, steel and will.

OOC Notes:

On Friday, April 25th, we will celebrate the return of Spring and a year of new beginnings. Cinnamon’s Tea Trove will be pulling out all the stops to make the evening one full of joy and merriment before you must all march off to war. The evening will feature our annual ritual of renewal, which all are invited to participate in, as well as Voraniss court, a smattering of strange Voranian pastimes and activities, and maybe some special visits from NPC’s wandering through. You’ll have to show up to find out!

Tavern fare will be available as normal for those of you that forgot your dinner beforehand, and potluck exchange is always encouraged.

Saturday questing will begin roughly around 11:00 AM and will run until dinner break (estimated at 6:00 PM), followed by a night quest. Be prepared for some war maneuvers!

Sunday will be event wrap-up and light questing giving players the opportunity to focus on base-building their holdings in Caelkirk and collect building materials etc. post battle.

This event is a damp site. We ask that for those who would like to drink that you drink responsibly. Anyone who has been drinking will not be permitted to go on the quest and will be asked to stay in camp.
