LORD MONARCH ANNOUNCES HOLIDAY

The Lord Monarch agrees that a holiday appears appropriate in light of the great strides made in security and reconstruction. To that end, let it be known that a regatta and attendant races shall be held four days hence. The main event shall be a race from Pyrite Island starting from the morning of the fourth day, to finish on the fourth day in the early afternoon. The Lord Monarch declares that day a holiday so all of Amthydor may participate, rest, and refresh themselves in all lawful and pleasant ways.

For the regatta, crews are advised to leave for Pyrite Island (also known as Fool’s Gold Island) three days hence, so as to finish at the expected time. Provisions for an overnight stay will be provided by the Lord Monarch and House Seabury. All those who wish to sponsor sloops may register with payment of entry fees to the Harbormaster.

While the sloops should be made as seaworthy as possible, no magic or enchantment should be involved in the construction or upkeep of this vessel. Crews should be as amateur as practicable, with an exception made for Diamond Legion captains currently on leave or any ship captain retired from duty volunteering for such duty.

The winning vessel will obtain honors for the vessel’s owner, including presentation of the Torestyn Trophy by the Mistress of Ceremonies, High Lady Deybri Seabury.
