Second Week
Crafting Competition Winners
The Order of the Silver Key hosted a crafting competition this Sunday. The Order is proud to announce the winners:
- First Place -- A tie!
- Rin created a sleek scimitar with an edge so fine it split a log cleanly in two. The balance of the weapon was superb and the blade flawless.
- Katya Roisin created a stunning cloak called Summer Shade, dark as a summer night. Fine embroidery adorned the silk of the cloak, depicting flowers and leaves.
- Honorable Mention
- Dame Fionna Bennett baked a delicious apple pie that filled the hall with the smell of cinnamon. Contestants and judges alike couldn't resist the perfectly-baked pastry.
All contest entries were delightful and the Order wishes to thank all who participated!

Summer Isle Updates:
- The Wild Hunt has purchased a shop near the center of town and welcomes its members to place a vendor to sell their wares (up to whatever the vendor limit is). Please speak with Caelestia or Katya if you would like a spot or need help purchasing a vendor.
Qubilat al-Asad
Qubilat al-Asad has set up a liason office in the town square next to the bank for those seeking adventure, and possible acceptance into the ranks of the Tribe. Merchants, Adventurers, Musicians, Warrios and all others are welcome to seek our tribal representatives. In other news word has reached that the Head of the Tribe is visiting the lands of Summer Isles, and has brought a caravan with him, as well as a troupe of dancers, and servants. There is word of possible celebrations to come as the inhabitants of Al Shadiyah bring their goods to share with the other inhabitants of the cities.
The Valdrdómr
The Valdrdómr, are a mead-drinking group who want to ensure the safety of their brothers and sisters while keeping at bay the worse among us all. Some houses will tout they are fighting to ward off evil—we won’t lie—we are just trying to suppress the overly ambitious. Though we have been busy recruiting, and acquiring information, everyone needs a break at time. Join us this coming Tuesday 8 pm EST, in the Ulster District of the Summer Isles, and help us plan the future.
The Sacred August Order of the Black Lion
The Order of the Black Lion are to stage an invasion against the undead armies plaguing the Summer Isles. To this end they invite all good peoples to assist the cause and share in the glory, gold, and fellowship!
The knights will assemble West along the path to the ruins and ancient graveyard at 7pm EST on Sunday the 4th and will initiate combat soon after. This would be of particular interest to potential recruits, but all are welcome!
Raven's Kiss
The shadows are full of movement, and seeking more to claim among our number! Speak with Daciana von Cioara if you are interested in joining us. We are working to establish a proper headquarters on the Summer Isle in the next few days.
We will be hosting a tavern night/meet-and-greet in tavern on the east side of the docks in the Summer Isle on Sunday, August 4th at 9pm CST/10pm EST. All are welcome, especially those who are a part of Kraestret or are interested in joining the Raven's Kiss.
Story to Date
Opening Days
What in the World
A number of events have driven the heroes and nobles of Cuiviénen to Summer Isle. The first is the unseasonable weather the main land has been having, off and on, over the last three years. Between the oppressive humidity in the north, the unrelenting rain fall in the south, and roof ripping winds across the plains, anyone with the means or ability has taken refuge in the nearly constant and perfect weather of Summer Isle.
The second is what appears to be a natural lull in mainland conflict. Since the last equinox nearly everyone's luck has just seemed to run out, and without any real prior agreement, generals, captains, war leaders and anyone in charge of anything gave up the field and ordered their troops home for some R&R and time with their families and loved ones. This is not such a terribly unusual event, as often conflict naturally ends just before the harvest in fall. It is only unusual in the sense that it began weeks earlier, allowing our heroes more time to enjoy the foods, baths, social events and shopping opportunities so graciously arrange by the Grey Rider.
The third, and perhaps most important, is the stellar alignment the astrologers have been shouting about for years now -- all signs point to the beginning of another age, and the arrival of an unusual number of new heroes. Everyone, native and resident alike, all know that it is the Heroes who change the tide of events in the lands of Sanctuary, and recruiting new arrivals is a huge part of any houses' martial and political success.
So for now, and for much of the next month, perhaps even until the next Equinox, our heroes, new and old, flock to what some call the Grey Havens to make new friends, establish new allies and size up old enemies.
To all who have characters who have been here awhile: It is not such a very large world, expect others to know you, or at least have heard of you. Please play along in cooperatively building some of the past events with each other. All others should read Upon your arrival ...
