Midsummer Festival
SHILMISTA -
Tethyr - Folk arriving from the south—especially the elves—are abuzz with excitement.
While rumored for more than 40 years, an ever-tighter alliance of the elves of Shilmista and
Tethyr has been officially acknowledged with the announced Midsummer wedding of Mirthal Aendryr, duke of Durmista, and Ivaern of Adosuor’s Glade.
While the duke had long avoided remarrying after his first wife’s 14th century death, his work with the elves of Shilmista to bulwark and defend the border along the eastern Tejarn Hills brought both responsibility and love to
Tethyr’s Scoutlord.
The wedding, a relatively small affair kept among personal friends and close allies, became noticed mostly by the magical lights that wove among the western copses of trees cultivated over the past century to physically link the Forest of Tethir and Shilmista.
The lights stayed lit throughout the two-tenday-long-wedding fete, the groves and the trade road out of Riatavin through Shilmista safer for that duration.
Suzail (by Jeremy E. Grenemyer) - A grand day of festive celebration has unfolded across
Cormyr.
In
Suzail, the homes of certain nobles, guildmasters, and the well to do have been opened up to guests. The sound of bard song can be heard emanating from taverns that have thrown their doors open early, while minstrels paid by the Crown wander the streets, their song interspersed with reminders of the many festival locations in the city.
Behind the scenes, preparations continue for Shieldmeet on the morrow, and the Queen’s council soon after. Several offices in
The Royal Court are closed for business, though adventurers late to attain adventuring charters may still do so.
A grand revel is planned for this evening in the Royal Palace, which is expected to host the representatives of trade envoys, the heads of noble houses, and important courtiers. Similar, albeit smaller, gatherings are planned to take place throughout
Suzail.
