On the first weekend of Olaesta, the harbor market of [[Isle of Ornath|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.

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.
