(Super early notice but I wanted to nab the date and get this out so people could see if they were available-)

*The following poster is placed upon the message board of the Crossroads, Grafjell, Tambry and Thiil.*

~~~~~~<>~~~~~~
"Dox bel Tibani, translated into common is Day of Goodbyes.
This is a new annual festival the isle of Grafjell is holding that will be open to the entire populous of the Northern Kingdoms.

The event is in honor of the dead and those who have passed onto their final judgement, but is also in celebration of the life we all live. For every life is sacred and we must live each day as if it were our last, for all must one day pass into the Grey Lady's judgement.

The festival will have food, music, spirits and many fun events to help remember the passing of our loved ones and celebrate the lives of our own. At the end their will be a mass to the Grey Lady for those who wish to come and pray for themselves and their loved ones.

For those wishing to attend the festival should come wearing dark clothing and a mask of their own choosing. If you cannot get a mask for yourself, skull masks will be passed out at the docks of Grafjell for those who wish to wear them. If any have interest in helping with the festival by serving food, drink, or preforming please contact me, Melosa Crow, at the crossroads each Final day (Saturday).

The festival will begin at sundown on Final day, 24th of Ghostmoon. All should gather at the inn just off the docks of Grafjell. And if there are any interested in learning more about the Grey Lady or in becoming an Acolyte this would be the perfect opportunity to get associated with the community.

-Melosa Walterius Crow
Acolyte of the Grey Lady"

IG Name: Brian_AT16
Name: Dox bel Tibani
Date: Saturday, October 24th 2015
Time: 4 PM EST [Timezones]
Location: Event area west of the dock, follow the pumpkins/cobwebs/blood to find it!
Public/Private?: Public
Event Description:


Alright so this is meant to be a cheery festival despite the dark undertones. It is loosely inspired by the Spanish festival "Day of the Dead" and is exactly one week before Hallowween. All are welcome and there will be multiple contests both IC and OOC where you could win some radiants. I will be posting what type of competitions in the first reserve post and what kind of awards will be given out.

Even if you don't worship the Grey Lady you can come. This is not centered around her religion but it will have a few aspects of her in it. We always like to meet new people. The event is set to Moderately Peaceful meaning all actions are permitted but their will be many Acolytes and protectors of the isle around.

If you are interested in helping out or having your character provide some service please message me privately so we can arrange a date to RP. There is plenty of time before the festival actually happens so if you want to attend yet cannot on this day just leave a comment and we will see about changing the date. Cheers!

Small rule addition to the scavenger hunt! It is important for those interested in that mini-event to note such.

The poster has been placed at Tambry, Thiil, Crossroads & Grafjell. You can assume this common knowledge now-

Still looking for the above jobs and such. Also looking to buy Skeleton skulls in bulk to anyone selling them cheap enough.

This is exactly how I saw Moor Elves celebrating a Halloween-esque type of festival :)
What she doesn't say, is that theres a secret raffle. The prize is dinner, as in you are dinner! We'll slit the winner's throat and drink his/her blood!
It's not cannibalism, it's cultural diversity.
