The Festival of Asatan

[ilio]

On the eve of Year 1674 (Friday the 31st from 5PM EST onwards), there's going to be a festival held on the bridge west of Osrona.
The same place as the Summer Festival held by Iris Arsali years prior.

The Festival of Asatan is a Rhoynish event that celebrates the patron spirit of several clans: Asatan. She stands for life and freedom and is revered like a goddess of the people.

It'll include singing and dancing, with rumours of Melody the Bard and Lady Priscilla cos Solenne performing.

There'll also be face painting, food supplied and lots of alcohol as is the norm for Rhoynish culture. 

Unlike the noble galas, the festival is a social gathering that'll last for several hours with no entry cost and no single major event planned but instead constant activities throughout the day.
The most notable being up to 5 versus 5 martial contests for magi on the grass west of the bridge; and other athletic events, like arm wrestling, races, etc.
There's no need for referees to start, only consenting parties. You're encouraged to begin whenever ready.

Rhoynish from throughout Esshar are said to come and it's an open invitation from Osrona through to Theria.
A personal invite has been sent to House Grimmore. No such invite has been given to the House Astor and House Pelleaux, though they're welcomed to attend.
Due to past tensions between the Rhoynish and the Order of the First Light, the First Light has been asked to come off duty and in plain clothes.

The event has been organised by Demosthenes Dayndros.

((Time might be changed to Saturday if that's a more convenient time but will be updated if that's the case.))

A letter invitation has been sent to Queen Ariadni II Petrakis.

The festival will still be held on Friday the 31st, around 5pm EST onwards.

Those rumors of Lady Priscilla cos Solenne performing were confirmed, however, she is said to be arriving fashionably late, as always!

((Won't be off from work until 10 PM EST))

Is this still happening or is the start time going to be pushed back? Also should do some ground work in game to let people know~

The Festival of Asatan

The beating of drums resound as Rhoynish swarm by the dozens to the large bridge west of Osrona. More often than not, wearing the paint of the Dayndros clan. The festival erupts with dance, food and drink. Traditional Rhoynish music is played. To those interested, they only need to follow the crowds west out of Aerendale to the festival grounds.

((it's happening. im waiting on admins to announce it atm.))
