[**EVENT** - Viking Raiders - May 25, 2019 @ 9pm EST]

Scenario:

The ship rocked to and fro on the choppy blue waters below. Anxious vikings paced back and forth, their scratched and worn armor was shining in the sun. It had been a long journey, and their blades were thirsty for blood. They had heard of this mysterious land before. Their ancestors before them had once pillaged this land. It had been rich in resources and blood. Over time the land had become barren and lifeless. Many years had passed since then, and a rumor had flown on the wind to the ears of their king. The land had a new name, Stefna Vinna, and it meant advance and conquer. Life was becoming rich there once more. The mountains had replenished their resources, animals roamed the lands in plenty, and settlers had returned. Now was the time to strike! Their ship was filled with supplies, enough to begin their new home in these fresh new lands. "Land!" The forward scout shouted. The captain stood and quickly moved to the bow. Peering through narrowed eyes at the shadow of land ahead, he shouted to the crew, "Greida (Make ready)...Today we bring fear...Today we fill our hold with riches of this new land." The warriors gripped their sword hilts as heat rose from chest to brow and in unison replied, "Odin owns you all."

 

Sequence:

1. At 9pm EST on May 25, 2019 a group of viking raiders will arrive on a ship.

[Places of Worship]

[**EVENT** - Jousting for the Hammers Outpost - May 5, 2019 @ 3PM EST]

Good evening. Apologies for the late notice of this event. Please see the details below and we hope to see you there!

 

Scenario:

A lonely outpost lay forlorn and bare. The shore crashes nearby as the silence from the northern forest persists. An overseer rests with his head in his hands. The outpost was abandoned many moons ago. No one visits. No one collects the bounty of ore. "This cannot stand!" The overseer proclaimed. "This valuable resource must be utilized by a worthy leader. They must prove their worth in a noble tournament. A joust! The new owner must prove themselves through a series of jousting matches! Yes, then I will once again have a master to put this place to good use."

 

Sequence:

             7. The contender that prevails in at least two out of the three rounds will win the outpost

             8. If two or more players win an equal number of rounds, there will be a final round to determine the winner

             9. If only one contender arrives for the event, 15 minutes after the start time, they will automatically claim ownership
