Nidaros, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – September 1, 2011 – by Ashylnn – The celebrations for the Nidaros Anniversary will be structured a little differently than originally planned and will take place over the whole of the month of september. As the past week or so has been rather chaotic for some people, and the weeks to come may still be, this seems like the best way to ensure the town of Nidaros is given proper acknowledgment!
Each event will take place on a tuesday evening over the next four weeks. We will still be holding the weekly statehood meeting each week at the Nidaros Town Hall (at 9pm by the eastern clock), but these meetings will be swift affairs only lasting fifteen minutes. At twenty past the hour, attention will turn to one of the planned events.
Location and time for all events: Nidaros Town Hall (starting location) – 9 PM ET for PaxLair Meeting then go to Event. (Nidaros Town Hall teleporter is at the Tea House in PaxOku, Homare-jima, Tokuno.)
Week 1 (Sep 6): Find the Rune
Lord Maedhros of the Nidaros Rune Library is hosting a contest called Find the Rune. I am not entirely sure what it is, but it involves solving various skills and presumably, finding a rune. All I know is it sounds like fun!
This will take place at the Nidaros Rune Library where exact rules will be explained on the night.
Week 2 (Sep 13): The Blood Regatta
Everyone knows this one – the famous Nidaros boat race. Show up with a ship and crew and be sure to enter! I believe the regatta begins in Nidaros but this may be subject to change.
Week 3 (Sep 20): Costumed Archery Contest
An archery contest with a twist taking place in Nidaros. We all come in costume so I’m led to believe. More details on this to come! And even if you can’t shoot a bow with any real skill, neither can a lot of people and I suspect there are prizes for more than just first place. So try your luck!
Week 4 (Sep 27): Nidaros Horse Race
A race of some kind involving horses I would wager. The race has a proper name, but I must remind Mayor Zanku to let me know what it is. Everyone is to meet in Nidaros with a mount – a horse I suspect. Horses hate me though, so I may have to bring an animated one.
There is an anniversary party to follow the horse race which will no doubt involve copious amount of food and booze, much of it brewed specifically for the event. If you’d like to try a little of what is on offer, or even bring your own, feel free to stop by. And who knows, we may even hold a little spontaneous contest of the best brews. Providing we are all not three sheets to the wind by that point!
Reminder:
