CONTESTS! CONQUESTS! CONSUMATION!
Revel with us in Midsummer's celebration in the Year of the Wyvern!
Enjoy, feast and thrive on the loudest, warmest, happiest holy day!
Food, drinks, and knicknacks can be bought at the vendors as you join the day together.
BUT HAVE YOU TALENT? HAVE YOU SKILL? HAVE YOU THE HEART? (or throat?)
For there will be competitions of the most revelrous kind!
The winner shall be crowned the King or the Queen of Midsummer: a prestigious title that they may proudly carry unto the next year! Prizes, tokens, and the title yours to win!
But hark!, how will your worth be tested for the crown?

CORNUCOPIA: THE HORN OF ABUNDANCE
You will test your throat and stomach against the hardiest of Impiltur - and Impiltur knows hardy people. Drink shall be poured! Flooded! With hearty beers provided by Sarshel's finest brewery, The Kingfisher. You will drink rounds with your fellows until only one drinker stands!
RIVALRY Of ROPE
You will test your strength and your spirit of unity in tug-of-war - one of the oldest competitions, known for its simplicity yet intensity also. The group who hold their ground the best win this contest.
MASTER OF THE BOW
You will test your skill at archery against your fellows. Out of shots three, your best will count towards your score.
FOEHAMMER
You will test your aim and strength in hammer throwing, a tradition in Impiltur that will now be resurrected. Out of throws two, your farthest will count towards your score.
THE SONGMASTER OF MIDSUMMER
You will perform for our loving and cheering audience - and the audience will listen and vote. The jury and the audience's votes combined will provide us with the winner. The winner earns the title of Songmaster of Midsummer, and those who join this competition will not compete in the other events unless they wish to. Instead, they are to receive drink, meals and patronage, should they offer further entertainment for us all.
CHALLENGES
Should you find Lady Luck's smile waning on you, have heart and take the Morninglord abreast! For those who go the extra mile are given extra points! But beware - these are challenges, no easy prizes!
The Goblet of Good Taste: You will be given wine whose make and vintage you must guess correctly.
The Wells of Generosity: You will traverse a path lined by friends and foes that toss the contents of buckets at you, and you must arrive as dryly as possible across.
The Strength of Many: You alone will be put against others in a tug of war and you must stay on your feet for three counts.

OOC:
Time: Between 30 - 31st July I'm hosting a few contests.

Location: Royal Road - Cornflower Fields.
Once I have in game access again, possible prizes will be made more concrete. Have an idea or request for a prize? PM me! If not, I've a few small ideas already.
Most importantly, have FUN and join, join, join! Who's with me for Midsummer?! Give me a Yay / Nay and post below!
