Race of the Five Horns Announced!
Fame and Fortune for the Fearless in the Folly!
Lord Staforth ir'Haran of Starilsakur today announced an upcoming celebration of the 7th anniversary of the famed 'Assault of Aruldusk' led by his cousin Lord Dornal ir'Haran of the 16th Swords of Vathirond. The celebration will consist of a set of challenges tied together by a challenging footrace over the demented terrain of ropes, skewed skybridges, and precipitous drops known as Harrith's Folly.
As we all know, Dornal lead only a small team through the tangled streets of Aruldusk, using speed, cunning, and skill to overcome its surprised garrison, Lord Staforth declared in announcing the games. His small band held the city for three days before being driven out by a much larger force. It is in this memory that we have set up this challenge as a celebration of a true Brelish hero!
Lord Dornal ir'Haran will be in Sharn during the festivities due to being awarded an honorary degree and speaking at Morgrave University's commencement.
Interested parties for tickets, bets, or participation can contact Master Kavin Ballard, 168th S. 5th Tower, Harrith's Folly, Middle Dura.
The gnome raises an eye at Vok, then continues writing. As he does so, he responds mater-factly, There will be awards in multiple categories from Best Overall to awards for individual stages. Participation costs go to help defray such expenses. Will you be registering as an official sponsored team or individual sponsor?[sblock=Insight 13]The gnome does not care one way or the other if you enter or not. He's got a job to do and he's doing it.[/sblock]Vok clears his throat and looks at the gnome, "Ah, excuse me good sir, could I have but a minute of time. Myself, and my friends" he says gesturing to the others, "were interested in particiapiting in the race, but were wondering if there was a prize for the winner?" Vok asks, hoping the gnome will listen.
