be reasonably safe as long as the usual precautions are taken.

End Date: 2/28/2011 2:00:00 PM
The time has come for the Lord Raven to wed the lovely elven Lady Athena, and where better to hold such a joyous event but in the lands of Lady Athena’s people, reaffirming old ties between the Humans of the Duchies and the Elder races of Elves and Fey? Come high summer, there will be feasting, serenading and dancing in celebration of this auspicious union.

However, a new power has arisen in the lands of Men and the Elf King would be foolish to ignore young Rolande’s aspirations to unite Meadel, so he has decided to create new ties with the Humans of the Kingdom while honouring his old ties to the Raven and his allies. While the Alliance celebrates a much anticipated wedding, the Kingdom will be touring Elven lands, and all will be welcome to partake of Elven hospitality and enjoy the beauty and tranquility after the terrifying events that transpired in Kildanis. The Elves will be courting allies, old and new... but what darkness is lurking beneath the fragile skin of this fevered revelry?

Rent in the Veil: Holding the Line

Start Date: 5/20/2011 4:00:00 PM
End Date: 5/22/2011 2:00:00 PM
The skies above Meadal have been a constant reminder of the night that the huge gashed tear appeared in the Veil to the East. In an unprecedented display of unity, most of the peoples and factions of Meadal have united to hold back the forces from beyond the Veil, at the rent located in Elven lands. Now at the large frontier camp that serves as the headquarters for all the foreigners currently stationed in Elven lands an assortment of people gather. A solution to the rent in the Veil must be found, and soon, before the Dragon King's armies have a chance to capitalise on our weakness.

Celebration of Victory

Even as our heroes return to their homes and the resumption of their daily routines after repairing the rent in the Veil and besting the forces of evil in Elven lands, plans and schemes are afoot in the shadows of the great Dwarven Halls beneath the mountains…

Having realised how much the nations of Meadal owe the heroes of Meadal as a result of their sacrifices and great deeds performed in Elven lands, the Dwarf King RoedolfGoldenbeard prepares the greatest celebration the lands of Meadal have ever seen in their century-long history. He has sent the word out into the Sunlit Lands with every cart of ore, every jeweller, weaponsmith and trader, that all are welcome at in the Great Hall of the Mountain King to eat, drink and make merry, on a scale not seen since before the rise of the Dragon King.

“Ruler or Rogue, Soldier or Scholar, all are welcome to attend, drink ale, eat dwarf bread, slay monsters in the lower galleries, compete in traditional contests, count gold, mine for gems and enjoy the hospitality of the most jovial people in Meadel. Whatever the Elves didn’t allow you to do, we will! Whatever songs the Elves didn’t sing, we will! Whatever games the elves didn’t play, we will! This is a Royal Invitation, and we hope that everyone will accord it the respect it deserves.”

Cherry Blossom Festival

Start Date: 2/17/2012 4:00:00 PM
End Date: 2/19/2012 2:00:00 PM
To our honoured Lords, Ladies and all others who dwell in these fine lands of Meadel.

It is with great excitement that I invite those brave and curious enough to attend, to the magical Cherry Blossom Festival, which will be held at Three Stone River.

A few times a decade the planetary alignment and the phases of the moon plays havoc on the magical energies that resides deep in the heart of DV lands. The mirth and mayhem that always arises from this is called the Cherry Blossom Festival.

As per Cherry Blossom tradition there will be a masked ball. We therefore urge everybody to dust off their dancing shoes, and prepare to dance the night away!

Whereas the usual adventure seekers, looking for those rare gems and treasure that only arrives with the festival, are very welcome. We urge them not to shrive the trestled midst, as the harbinger has only recently been hallowed in its keep.

The Duke and myself will also happily pay 2 gold for any captured twinkle fairy, if it should happen that the winds will once again blow them from the mountains where they reside. No harm will come to these creatures, as their capture will merely aid us in relocating them back to their home. Anyone who may have been at a Cherry Blossom Festival before might know of the chaos that these lovely creatures can cause once they have been removed from their mountainous teritory.

We urge you all to remember to take the usual precaution as DV will not accept any responsibility for the death; maiming; public embarrassment; enchantment; enticement, ensorcelment, enlargement, embezzlement, enlightenment, entrapment; entanglement, engagement, enjambment inter veiliar transport, alterations of shape, sex or species; loss of goods; goods turning sentient and attacking owners; cultists; random teleportation; luggage; rogue magical pets or experiments; lawyers; or any other conceivable or inconceivable harm or inconvenience to any attendees.

Best wishes!

Duke and Duchess Ashtolat

In the aftermath of the perilous Festival of Travelling Lights, the people of Meadel encountered a new foe. Hints of vile magics plague the lands of the Burning Sands, as more and more undead are seen across the region.

Reports of masses of grotesque horrors and abominations have been coming in from neighbouring towns and border patrols, the people of Meadel have grown concerned.

Armies are amassing close to the border as scouts bring in reports of the source of these dark magics. On the eve of the breach of what is now called The Source, the encampment is tense.

What will they find, and will the heroes gathered be enough to stop the undead plague?
