Good day, good day Nobles one and all from whence those brave Hunters of these Sylvan Lands do call Home! Mark well ye a most momentous and novel occurrence to come! For lo, after the War, after the Harvest, yet before the darkest night, there shouldst be a Revel! And it shouldst be filled with dance! And drink! And games of whimsey to test if skill or folly rules the day! How’s that food t’weren’t yet mentioned? Yea, finest victuals shall be had! And sweets, so many!, as seen on display at nuptial’s celebrations in those Debatable Lands! (meaning a Pittsburgh Cookie Table!) Hast thou skill in concocting cordials? Bring your brews! Test thine skills and allowst yon fellow revelers to proclaim whose delectable drink deserves decoration! – Words by Maighster Kieran MacRae
