Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 9:07 am
Welcome, welcome! The Graces are hosting a celebration of the frost, tundra and the everlasting permafrost to bring further glory to the Frostmaiden, Auril at this time!

To start out we'll meet at Luskan and then head towards the tundra as a group so nobody gets lost.
There are four important bits to the event, specifically:
1) We'll be accepting submissions by talented artists up until the date of the feast. Entries can come in any form and include live performance or not. They can be handed in either when you arrive at the feast or mailed in advance or absentia to Lillia Grace.
2) At the start of the event we'll have a tundra-trek. All contestants will strip down to a bare minimum of clothing and then seek out cleverly-hidden items in the tundra to the northwest of Luskan. Warning: Don't feed the yeti.
3) During the hunt you'll be invited to take a white ghost pumpkin with you and you may carve it out at your leisure in a way that you feel best reflects the theme of ice, snow, and frost. The pumpkins will be judged by the Graces during the feast.
(OOC note for this one: We'll be handing out parchment and a quill and people will be expected to either write out a description or for extra points do an actual drawing of their sculpted pumpkin.)
4) After the tundra-trek is complete everyone is invited to adjourn at a safer part of the tundra where we'll be serving refreshments and plain but nourishing northern fare.
The winner of our three main events will receive a handsome prize of a magical item as well as a purse twenty-five platinum coins.
Although it isn't required every person attending is strongly encouraged to cast aside several coins into the drifting snow as an offering to the Frostmaiden.
