Summer Day - Evora
Zenta Carson
Celebration in Negev
Negev, in a celebratory uproar for its new wall, announces games drink food for all who come.
Up on a stage constructed by engineers Zenta comes out and addresses the good people of the region.
"WELCOME ONE IN ALL!!!! To the celebration of a life time. To commemorate the new Motte and Bailey. Our engineers have done a magnificent job on improving our wall and thus securing our southern borders from invasion. Feel free to drink and eat as much as you like. The games will begin soon."
Zenta bows to his people and exits the stage.

Summer Evening - Perdan
Ryndhal Nabarl
The ancient priest walked slowly through the streets of the city. It had been a long, long time since he’d last been here, so long ago that he couldn’t even recall which banners flew from the towers...
The people here seemed livelier that those at “home”, though, as those that knew him were aware, “home” for Ryndhal would always be on the southern coast. A general air of celebration filled the streets, and the old man smiled as he continued his explorations...
6th June
Summer Day - Perdan
Lindow Moonsun
Road to Montijo
It was a sunny morning in the lands of Al Amarah. Inside the region, between Al Amarah Well and Al Amarah Meadows estates, there was a large column of soldiers crossing the land towards Montijo. On that column of soldiers could be seen the Shadowdale banner and the banners of the Moonsun, Arindal and Blackstone houses.
Lindow was riding his horse in front of his Grey Guard and next to him was Captain Rudgar. To their right they saw a small unit of men carrying a banner with a yellow and black background with a red horse.
- Captain Rudgar, is that unit over there of the des Vau house? - Lindow said.
- That's right, your Highness -
- But that path does not lead to Montijo, where does it lead? -
- Your Highness, I think they are marching to Negev -
- Negev? send a soldier to inform Sir Lazare to change his way to Montijo and meet with the army at Krimml -
- Yes, your Majesty! -
Captain Rudgar left. Lindow continued to ride while he stared at the Al Amarah landscape. Along the roads traders, trobadores and pilgrims could be seen moving to Karbala. Several towns near the roads could also be seen and children shyly approaching to see the soldiers they admired.
At that moment, a column of cavalry passed by Lindow's right flank, Flavia was in front.
- It is a good day to march to our New Tomorrow, don't you think Lady Flavia? - Lindow said.
Flavia Arindal
Flavia waved and moved her horse nearer to the King, allowing her mounted troops to pass.
"Indeed it is," she called out agreement. "And I hear of some new noble families emerging as well."
Summer Evening - Perdan
Dustiria Noire
"Allright that looks like the last of it" Bruce smiles at his and the men with him handy work. "The basement was stuffed full of Ales, meads, wines and more. "We are ready for the coronation celebration."
He heads up stairs and checks with sally. all the linens were washed and ready for whomever needed rooms. the amount of flowers in his majesties quarters was a bit much much but he understood her want to show how happy they all were. The Pirate King! Yes this was good change. Soon The Bloody Stump will be full to the brim. The Lady Dustiria was arriving shortly. She is going to be so happy. Now to get the coronation merchandise from the potter. Everyone is going to want a commemorative mug right?
Flavia Arindal
"My estate is in Montijo, as you know," Flavia continued. "My troops and I will be spending the night there, and of course your majesty is welcome to such hospitality as I can offer."
Smiddich Fontaine
"If it pleases your worship", says the serving girl to the Shadowdhavian Ambassador, sliding the coin back again, "His 'ighness is shouting drinks today, on the house, and a suite on the second floor has been made available for your exclusive use for as long as you deign to stay!"

Summer Evening - Perdan
Nemean JeVondair Renodin
Fellow Huntswomen and Huntsmen,
Many have joined us from the furthermost northern realms all the way to those at the southern edge that touch the great blue to where few ships are able to sail. This letter I will use to welcome a select few. Sadly not all for my hand would die and my service in war would be useless. Before you indulge in the mandatory jibes and assure me that couldn't be further degraded, hear me. I am not saying you aren't right either by the way. I am a poor substitute for some of the people gathered here. There are fewer things that bring more joy to me. Scarce are the days where I can look across the boundaries of the realm in which I live and see smiling faces. Coming over to where I live. For no other reason than to enjoy time together. That is a treasure you all bring.
Not just to me, even though I partake of the drink on offer but that chalice is passed around to all of you. It refills each time you hand it to the next person, and the next. Cheers, joy, kindness and laughter. We are gathering, more are yet en route, to be together. To set aside the rigors of our lives. Call to a halt the grinding of time. To see the sun dip and assuredly whisper in its proverbial ear: It's alright sun, you can go to sleep. and we will enjoy the night in its absence!
For when the gathering is over and all that have wished to join us have, we will set out for a day of spectacle. Hunting, ranging, sharing drinks and basking in the late day sun as our caught game will roast over open fires. Soon to be enjoyed and our merrymaking will privately continue in the generous confines of coppice of trees and the shelter of the forest en masse. Friends, if you'll permit me to say that, welcome.
- Lord Andreas,
- Many words we have shared. Letters amounting perhaps to a veritable book at this point. It will be my singular joy to clasp hands and to finally share a moment absent ink and parchment with your person. Sadly though, I must admit that among the company you find yourself in now, the other members of the Great Hunt, I am but a pale shadow of the camaraderie and quality of conversation present here. Still, knowing you to be a merciful man, you shall indulge me for a moment or two were we will be able to speak.
- Lady Maleena,
- You rode hard and arrived far before many in our lands. That you were so prompt had me feel more than a little sheepish. I'd have wished for everyone to be so expedient but alas we must wait. The weather and the roads are not kind to everyone. It is my pleasure to introduce you to a great many military minds. Not in the least a great many from Perdan itself. Perhaps, if you would wish it, I could make more personal introduction in the quiet hours after the hunt itself. With people seated, their prizes and drinks in hand, well nurtured and saturated.
- Royal Ivo,
- You who has perhaps traveled furthest to be with us. Not longest, that is a word I would not use in this instance. From what I gather you blinked into Perdan faster than anything I thought possible. Within moments of sending my invitation to you, or so the rumors go, there were reports of yourself appearing in Dimwood. Out of thin air! You must speak on the matter, tell us how you managed such a feat and if it is indeed true!
- Lord Kiderix,
- It is a distinct pleasure to have you among us. Where we have not yet forged a true bond, it is my sincere hope that once the horse gallop and the game starts before us, you and I may share a moment. One where the trappings of the world fade and the verdant world around us shows us for who we are. That we may find truth there and the beginnings of friendship. Perhaps you would have the time to share a word of two about yourself? I'd much like to learn about you.
- Royal Nabarl,
- 'Special thanks sings out to you, Ancient one. I say that with equal measures of respect as I do teasing. You will suffer the jest of a younger may I hope while I so unwittingly shall incur your much better angled and surely phrase retort. I recall our time together well. Eponllyn has changed much since those days I hope. Though I will not make that a question and force an unpleasant answer. Instead, I shall mark you out to all of the people here part of the Great Hunt. If you wished to every know anything of the East Continent, this man most likely knows it. Not only that, he's probably lived through it.
- Lady Brigdha,
- You are most welcome. Naturally you are. So few are aware of the familial ties that are so closely entwined between us. You who have been a guardian for many and I will ever be thankful, by means of familial gratitude of course. As to you being a mere spectator. We'll see about that. If I can rouse you to participate in just one round of celebrations or simply raise a glass in shared cheer, I will have already booked success. Your reputation being so that such a task I've just set myself is quite the monumental one already, I do realize. Yet that makes your gracious relenting all the more noble.
- Lord Kenneth,
- While your suggestion enlivens the jovial attitude I too have foreseen for the Great Hunt I must sadly also take a contrary stance in so much that it conflicts with the peer to peer governance we've envisioned. Multiple names will demand of the officials of this guild to also recognize each name as with more power than the one below. Something not desired at all where it concerns the running of the Great Hunt Guild. One rank will be more than enough for the elders. All equal.
That brings to me an organizational note. The name of Elder is indeed a rudimentary one. It does deserve changing. A proper name I have not yet divined but as Lord Kenneth states, we are many here and idea's are of course welcome. The governance of this Guild will be through direct peerage. All elders will be of the same rank. Together, in conclave they will oversee the running of this establishment. That is the fairest and most balanced way.
--
Not too long ago I had received word from Duke Germanico and also Prince Giselin of Isadril that both of them were making their way to Perdan. To join us. I believe we might need to expand our halls further to accommodate more members. When you arrive in your respective regions, please consider adding a Guild House for this purpose. The more that are able to participate, the greater the glory of our events. I will also write letters to see if there are yet uncommitted people that want to attend. That way I can gauge when we can begin formally. Until that time, I encourage you to prepare you hunting gear, to make sure you have the right dress and garb. The hunt will require high boots I so imagine but if you rather wear shoes, I am certain the forest floor cares not.
Wings unfurled,
Sir Nemean JeVondair Renodin Knight of Bisciye Elder of Great Hunt
