Wintertide Trials - Delphina Event

[Dandeli]

  

O' wintertide, doth slow mine steps. In season swift, mine strides hath leapt. 

   

Winter in Meranthe is cold, harsh, unforgiving, all-taking, and moon white.
Winter in Meranthe is a slow slog, for as other continents need only last three months, Meranthe oft need last a dozen.
  
Mortalkind fretted the first Winter. Joy and abundance frostbitten by ghostly gales and grief. A question once echoed out: "Why is it so?"

To the tune of tea and melancholy an answer was delivered. 

    

As the world froze over, the ticking of the clock stilled, the rivers aflow turned into sheets of ice, it gave Mortalkind a moment.

 

A moment to breathe hardship, drink of grief, stare upon a still world.   

A moment to breathe reflection, drink of realisation, notice their still world.

  

From silence was reflection born, and from pain were the fires of appreciation stoked.

And so in the deep midwinter, a tourney is to be held within the frosted wood to remember what is at stake.
   
Whilst the waking world slumbers, these eyes doth drink. Drink of the wood, and blades 'neath the sleet.

 

Duchess Melionette Meandersong courteously invites those of Delphina and it's vassal territories to partake in a winter tournament,
 

Every combatant will be given a stave that limits their magical capabilities

and a thin cloak so that they might feel winter's harsh bite,

 

To a cold chorus that reminds the heart of what is cherished 

all will fight, struggling as they remember dearly what is at stake,

Fel, occultists and other such affronts to nature may be 

subject to detainment, forcible removal or even death,

 

They are counselled not to heed this invitation, should they somehow acquire it.

  

There is a secret prize reserved for the winner!!!
