Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by fights and worthy bloodshed; Sapience rebuilds, and Gods watch on.

Among those watchful Gods the Dragon sleeps, waiting and waking when the world has needed Her most. The Order of Tanixalthas consecrates among us the month of Variach to Her, the Star of Midwinter, and opens our celebrations to Sapience at large. The wisdom and law of the Dragon shall be made known, year by year, with food and drink, sermons and rituals - with questions asked and discussed, and there will be tests of strength in blood and in the artistry of your hands. There will be rewards for those who excel, of course.

She is, of course, a Goddess of strength and growth, and among the most well-known endeavors of strength would be a hunt. More details shall be found in the following post.

Prepare your fine garb and sharpen your blades. Spirit or Shadow, no matter, as long as you are allowed within the boundaries of Spinesreach and would conduct yourself with civility for these two weeks that we gather.

The uncertainties of this last war shall reveal themselves in time. Let this festival be a chance of much-needed respite, for even the most stalwart of warriors and zealots must at times rest.

Glory and wisdom be in Her shadow,
Chaplain G. Ladoran
