On the first weekend of Olaesta, the harbor market of Ornath, closed for much of the year, throws open its gates for a highly anticipated annual event. Farmers, poulterers, shepherds, and artisans from across the island descend upon the bustling square, eager to hawk their wares, test their skills, and stake their claim in the island's most prestigious culinary and craft competitions. For one weekend, the market is a whirlwind of voices calling out their goods, the scent of grilled fish and sweet preserves thick in the air, and the clatter of craftsmen setting up displays of finely woven textiles, carved driftwood trinkets, and freshly fired pottery.
Letters have begun appearing in various towns inviting citizens to take part in the contests of Bericsaba Market. The author appears to be Fevronia a sister of the Order of Lumnasi Viragos and a member of the Bericsaba Market planning committee.
Fevronia has cast a wide net. She's reached out to most major cities and towns, with more to come. She's open to open up the Bericsaba Market to outsiders for the first time in its history and she's seeking competition!
OOC Note:
As many of you may know by now, Fevronia has sent out invitations all across Elanith. Tonight, with the aid of Efenorille, she even posted messages on all the town message boards (and some benches where boards weren't available) about two global contests, too! We encourage everyone to take part in these contests.
