Warrior's Rest RP (Tavern at the Bladestone Foundation)

[Kiran]

A courier wearing Mystran regalia would arrive on a fine horse carrying a letter, which would be handed over to one of the guards inside the Warriors' rest. It would bear the name Niyressa upon it

The letter itself would also have a Mystran seal on it. Once delivered, the courier would depart in somewhat haste, perhaps off to deliver another parcel somewhere else.

Posters go up at the Friendly Arm Inn, Beregost, Candlekeep, High Hedge, and the many smaller communities regularly patrolled by the Bladestone Foundation. All calling attention to an upcoming event held by the Bladestone Foundation.

All the posters for the upcoming event at the Bladestone Foundation are replaced with fresh ones. Nothing seems to have changed, merely a replacement of damaged or lost-to-shenanigans posters.

(( Apologies for the late after-event post. Illness and work kept me busy ))

This year's High Harvest Tide Festival proved a resounding success. The various booths and stalls provided ample entertainment and small shopping opportunities throughout the evening. Each celebrating the crafts, produce, and brewing skills of the local communities. Throughout the entire evening various performers provided ample entertainment, adding a pleasant background hum to the festivities.

While the number of non-local guests were initially low, more flocked to the gathering as the evening progressed. The influx of guests brought out the adventuring bards, heightening the warm atmosphere with further song and dance. Whether thematic songs for the season, or jovial tunes to crack smiles and laughs, their performances helped capture the spirit of the High Harvest Tide: community and togetherness.

Even after the host retired for evening, citing happy exhaustion after organizing everything to such success, the festivities continued for several hours after. Food and drinks had been provided from the start in ample measure after all. Far better to enjoy it than to haul it back to storage!

As for the Bladestone Foundation hosting it, much had been done by the organizer to shift the attention and celebration to the local communities rather than themselves. As he emphasized in his opening speech.

"First of all: Greetings and welcome to this year's High Harvest Tide."

"Tonight we celebrate the year that has passed, the bounties of the fields, the plenty of the orchards, and the tenacity of the good folk who have made these wild lands their home."

"Though we of the Bladestone Foundation patrol these lands, and provide services for the local communities, we only do so by the grace of the very people, who have made these lands their home long before we arrived."

"To all of you from those communities we express our gratitude for welcoming us into your midst, and extend our continued commitment to your safety. This celebration is in honor of you and the sacrifices you have made over the years to make a living here."

"Thank you for sharing in your bounties with everyone gathered here. Whether drink, food, entertainment, or your pleasant company."

"We appreciate all you have done to make this High Harvest Tide celebration happen for the third year in a row. And we appreciate all those who have decided to join us tonight for this celebration."

"So, mingle among yourselves, partake in drink and food, share stories and song of the season, and be merry."

"Happy High Harvest Tide to you all!" Raises his mug of ale in a toast.

(( Thank you to everyone who joined our returning yearly event. We hope to see you again next year. Also a big thank you to DM Faith for disabling the enemy respawn to help keep the immersion. ))
