[!] Pinned to the Charter Hall Notice Board, and copied to public notice boards throughout the Seneschalty. Notice of the Southern Free Charter's Disbandment To our members, friends, patrons and neighbours, After much consideration, the Chairs have come to the decision that the Southern Free Charter shall be formally disbanded. It has been no small thing to see what began as a gathering of free hands grow into something that carried its members across the Reach and beyond. We have fought beside one another, learned from one another, celebrated victories together and, I hope, left the Southern Reach a little safer and richer for our efforts. To every Free Member, Crow, Wayfarer, friend and patron who lent their strength to the Charter - thank you.   With the Charter's dissolution, its remaining affairs and holdings shall be put in order. Chief among these is the Charter Hall, which shall no longer be required for our use. As such, the Hall is hereby offered for public auction to the guilds of the Southern Reach. Any established or aspiring guild wishing to claim the property may enter their name upon the accompanying registry and submit a bid. Once sufficient time has been allowed for interested guilds to register, the bidding shall be called and the Hall awarded accordingly. May its next occupants fill it with as much life as we did. - Iselle SongFirst Chair of the Southern Free CharterAccompanying Signatures:Sun, third ChairSorokin, second Chair   Location of the Charter Hall:Valley of Flowers ((-1393, 70, 1563)) - ((you are free to find it in game and look around!))   AUCTION Registry   Terms: Only the leader or representative denoted by the leader of the organization may place a bid.

The Bloomburrow Games ⊰═══════════════════⊱   To our citizens, friends, neighbours, and honoured guests alike, 𓂃   Let it be known throughout the town and beyond that preparations have begun for the Bloomburrow Games! In the coming days, the festival grounds shall be dressed in flowers, ribbons, painted banners, and all the colours our townsfolk may provide. Lists shall be raised for riders, targets set for archers, tables prepared for cards and wagers, and a grand stage built for those bold enough to present themselves before the gathered crowd. For a few days, let work be set aside where it may. Let neighbours share tables, strangers become friends, and competitors test their courage, skill, beauty, wit, and fortune before the cheering people of the town. Whether you come seeking victory, coin, applause, or merely pleasant days among good company, you shall be welcome. All are invited to attend. ((Date(s): 31st of July - 3rd of August)) Location: Spire Festival Grounds!   THE FESTIVITIES The Bloomburrow Games shall feature: The Bloomburrow Tables The Pageant (Pearl of the Town) The Joust  Burrowshot Marksman Games and Tournament Commencement of the Grand Challenge Each contest shall be overseen by an appointed herald, judge, or dealer. Rules will be explained before participation begins, and all rulings made by festival officials shall be considered final. Prizes shall be awarded to the finest competitors of each game, though surely glory, laughter, and the admiration of the crowd are prizes enough for some.       Main Event Schedule ((Friday, 31st of July | 4PM EST)) Opening Ceremony   ((Friday, 31st of July | 5PM EST)) Bloomburrow Tables  Other Activities Grand Challenge Sign-Up(Throughout the Event Duration)   Marksman Tournament Qualifiers(July 31st to August 2nd)     ((Saturday, 1st of August | 1PM EST)) The Jousts       ((Sunday, 2nd of August | 12PM EST)) Pearl of the Town Pageant       ((Monday, 3rd of August | 4:30 PM EST)) Burrowshot Marksman Tournament       *Please note, times are not final and may be subject to change*         THE BLOOMBURROW TABLES    Game: PokerEntry Fee (Buy-in): Announced at the Table. Within the gaming pavilion, cards shall be dealt and fortunes won or lost beneath the watchful eyes of the Bloomburrow dealers. Competitors may take their seats at the tables to test their nerve, their judgement, and their ability to keep a steady expression when fortune has dealt them poorly. Crowns may be wagered within the limits established by the festival officials, though players are reminded that the purpose of the tables is friendly competition rather than financial ruin. Those who possess neither coin nor confidence are still encouraged to gather, watch, offer entirely unwanted advice, and insist that they knew what cards everyone held all along. The most successful cardsharp of the festival shall be named the Bloomburrow High Hand. Rules: Poker Rules, Dealer((DM)) Discretion         THE JOUST  Entry: Pre-registration strongly encouraged! At the sounding of the horn, riders shall take to the lists beneath fluttering banners and the roar of the crowd! The Joust of Petals is a trial of horsemanship, courage, accuracy, and the ability to remain seated after being struck by a lance. Competitors shall ride in paired passes, earning favour through clean strikes, broken lances, and a decisive unhorsing. All lances and protective equipment must be inspected and approved before a competitor enters the lists. The joust is intended as a display of skill and gallantry. Deliberate attempts to maim a rider or injure their mount shall result in immediate removal from the games. Competitors need not hold a noble title or knightly rank. Any rider capable of meeting the safety requirements may petition to enter. The final rider remaining shall be proclaimed the Champion of the Bloomburrow Lists, and also be rewarded with crowns and a horse of fine pedigree! Rules: Read up on our Joust Mechanics here!      Pearl of the Town Pageant “Masculine women, feminine men! Which is the rooster, and which is the hen?” What: A beauty pageant and talent show—with a drag-themed twistWho: All who wish for their chance to shine, provided they sign upWhere: The Bloomburrow Festival GroundsWhen: August 2ndContestant Limit: Ten performers For one glittering evening, the Bloomburrow stage shall belong to the bold, the beautiful, and the magnificently overdressed! Contestants are invited to create a flamboyant persona and present themselves before the gathered town as a drag queen, drag king, drag monarch, or whatever dazzling combination best suits them. They shall strut the runway, introduce their newly fashioned selves, and display their talents beneath the watchful eyes of the judges and the roaring approval of the audience. There are only ten places available upon the stage - and only one crown waiting at its end. The pageant shall be divided into three sections, each testing a different part of a performer’s poise, confidence, and talent. Scores shall be awarded by the judging panel throughout the pageant. Once all three sections have concluded, the three highest-scoring contestants shall advance to a final, three-way performance smackdown. There, each finalist must give everything they have left to the stage. Whoever delivers the greatest final performance shall be crowned the victor.Further details here: Pearl of the Town Information and Sign-ups!         BURROWSHOT Marksman games and Tournament Entry: Bring your own bow, crossbow or similar ranged weaponry! Format: Qualifiers are ongoing until the day of the tournament.

A series of painted targets shall be placed at increasing distances across the range. Each contestant shall receive a limited number of arrows, with more difficult targets awarding a greater number of points. Some targets may be small. Some may move. Some may be shaped in ways that the carpenter responsible will insist are perfectly recognisable. Each participant may undertake the challenge no more than twice, with their highest score being entered upon the public board. Scores shall be updated throughout the festival so that archers may know exactly whose name they must surpass. The contestant with the highest final score shall earn the title of Bloomburrow’s Keenest Eye, and receive a set of rewards!

You may repeat a target as many times as you wish within your shots limit)(Screenshots of your attempt must be taken and put in the appropriate tournament thread to count as an entry) Participants may attempt the qualifiers a total of two(2) times. A ranking list of participants will be announced at the end of each event day.   Special Rules You can shoot with any Ranged template, but if you aren't proficient you take a -2 non-proficiency penalty as per the Mechanics page. Critical hits are worth +4 points on any target. Supporting effects from the audience are NOT permitted. (Such as commanding inspiration) Magic Spells are considered cheating, and being caught casting may result in disqualification, point docking, or other penalties for the caster at the Organiser's discretion.   Abilities Participants can select Abilities to use. Those with no marksman feats can pick one, those with at least one can select two. A Ranged lineage weapon counts. (An ability used must be clearly marked in the emote) Marksman feats are Volley, Trickshot, Quickdraw, Ranger's Gambit, Two Birds One Stone, Hamstring, Eagle Eye, Strategic Archer, and Lineage Weapon on a Ranged template [incl. Flex Design]. Sharpshooter: Targets 6 and 7 have their DC lowered to 17 and 19 respectively for the next two(2) shots. Can only be used once.

Each finalist shall be equipped with approved ranged weaponry and specially prepared tournament projectiles intended to mark or stagger their targets rather than inflict mortal injury. At the sounding of the horn, all four archers become one another’s opponents. There shall be no teams, no permanent alliances, and no safety in possessing the highest qualifying score. Competitors must move through the arena, take cover, choose their targets carefully, and avoid being caught in the sights of the other five. Each archer shall enter the arena bearing four Blooms, represented by ribbons, badges, or another visible marker upon their person. Whenever an archer suffers a confirmed hit (Multi hits count as one), one of their Blooms is removed. Once all four Blooms have been lost, that archer is eliminated and must immediately lower their bow and leave the arena by the nearest marked exit. The contest shall continue until only one archer retains a Bloom. That final contestant shall be named Burrowshot Champion, and conferred additional rewards. (To be Announced)     the Grand Challenge (Commencement) A call goes out to warriors of every discipline. Mages, rangers, brawlers, knights, mercenaries, duelists, and fighters of every other sort are invited to enter a long-running tournament to determine the greatest combatant among them. There shall be no teams and no battle lines. Every contest shall remain what it ought to be: One fighter against another. One duel at a time. The tournament shall take place over the course of approximately one to two months, during which participants may challenge one another and arrange their own duels with minimal oversight from the tournament organizers.  Each victory allows a fighter to claim the tokens gathered by their opponent. Each defeat leaves the loser clinging to a final chance. In time, the field shall narrow until only two fighters remain. Those final contenders shall meet in a grand concluding duel before the gathered spectators, where one shall be named the tournament’s champion. Rules and further Details: Spoiler Seneschalty Laws pertaining to Duels must be strictly adhered to!Please review the laws here as necessary: Section 8 (Click me) Every participant begins the tournament with two tokens bearing the tournament’s mark. When a fighter loses a duel, they surrender all tokens in their possession except one to the victor.This means that a competitor may survive their first defeat, but they are left in a dangerous position. Should they lose another duel while possessing only a single token, that final token is surrendered and they are eliminated from the tournament. The competition continues until only two token-bearing participants remain. Participants can challenge each other at will, and challenges must be accepted. (Exception below.) Each participant may deny a single challenger for the duration of the tournament. A denied challenger cannot challenge the participant until the final duel. The challenged participant has the right to choose the location of the duel, but cannot change it from its natural state. (They cannot trap the location or otherwise make preparations.) Duels must take place under participants’ peak conditions, at participant discretion. If a participant is significantly maimed, cursed, or otherwise afflicted below their peak condition for an extended period of time, they will have to continue under that disadvantage. Participants may use the weapons, armour, magic, constructs, artifacts, potions, and similar resources that form part of their usual personal capabilities. These must be wielded, directed, or prepared by the participant themselves. Another person may not enter the duel, provide healing, cast supporting magic, command the participant’s equipment, or otherwise interfere once the contest has begun. Summoned or controlled creatures and constructs may be permitted where they are a direct extension of the participant’s own abilities, though the duel must remain fundamentally one combatant against one combatant. The tournament organizers remain as DMs for the purpose of settling disputes, and their word is final. The Duels may commence following the Closing Ceremony, and not one moment sooner!     AWARDS AND CLOSING CEREMONY Before dusk settles upon the festival grounds, the games shall come to a close and the days’ champions called before the gathered town. Awards shall be presented to: The Bloomburrow High Hand The Pearl of the Town The Champion of the Bloomburrow Lists Bloomburrow’s Keenest Eye The Burrowshot Champion The champions shall be presented with their prizes and invited to stand together during the closing ceremony. But we will celebrate more than just our champions! The Bloomburrow Games are a celebration of every hand that built the grounds, every cook who filled a plate, every musician who lifted a tune, every guard who kept the peace, every competitor who dared enter, and every citizen who came to cheer. After the final words are spoken, music and revelry shall continue until the grounds close for the evening.     FAIRGROUND RULES To ensure the Bloomburrow Games remain safe and enjoyable for all, the following rules shall be observed: Weapons may only be carried where permitted by festival officials, guards, or contest heralds. Jousting arms and archery equipment must remain within their designated grounds. All contests are to be conducted in the spirit of friendly competition. Sabotaging equipment, interfering with a competitor, or threatening festival officials will result in removal from the grounds. Do not damage the tents, lists, stages, decorations, stalls, or targets. Spectators must remain behind marked barriers during the joust and archery game. Gambling shall only take place at approved tables under the supervision of appointed dealers. Harassment over wagers, losses, pageant judgements, or competition results shall not be tolerated. The pageant crown is ceremonial and may not be claimed through duelling. Treat the animals, workers, performers, competitors, and your fellow guests with respect.
