==Events==
Cairnfang Manor hosts three festivals each year. Songie, who was instrumental in founding Cairnfang Manor, hosted several events in Solhaven shortly after it opened up at the end of 1998. Some of those events are the foundation of current Cairnfang Manor festivals and traditions.


The first Snowball was hosted by Songie just after Solhaven opened up its trade routes to Wehnimer's Landing at the end of 5098, in the winter of early 5099. It became an annual tradition in Solhaven, and eventually Cairnfang Manor expanded beyond it to what is now [[#Winternights|Winternights]] in 5112. Winternights celebrates the community of Solhaven and invites all Solhaven organizations to participate.
===Meetings===
Cairnfang Manor's monthly meeting is held on the second Restday of every month at 8pm EST. The meetings are held in the Cairnfang Manor Meeting Room. Non-members interested in attending may request an escort from a current member.


The first [[#Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit|Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit]] was also hosted by Songie in late 5100, under the name of the Solhaven Academy of Art Grande Exhibit. Several years later, Cairnfang Manor resurrected the event under its new name, the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, and has been its formal host since. In 5119, the first additional workshop was introduced to the Art Exhibit, expanding it beyond the central judging event. The Grand Art Exhibit partners with a wide variety organizations that are willing to focus on the visual arts.


The first [[#Seafarer's Festival|Seafarer's Festival]] was hosted by Cairnfang Manor in 5103, shortly after it was officially recognized as an organization. As the Manor's flagship festival, Cairnfang Manor takes the lead on events during it while partnering with other organizations that have ties to the seafaring community.

The hunt begins in North Market at 10pm EST, after which the location and target of the hunt will be chosen based on the skill level of that month's attendees. Spells and bounty tasks are shared among those attending.


==Winternights==
==Current Officers==
Shortly after the opening of the public trade route between [[Wehnimer's Landing]] and Solhaven in 5098, Cairnfang Founder Lady Songee Fillee hosted the first annual Snowball. This event continued every year until 5112 when Cairnfang Manor extended the festivities into the annual Winternights. Every year, organizations local to Solhaven are invited to take part in the mid-winter festivities by hosting games and events, concluding with the traditional Snowball and occasionally a snowball fight. Escorts will be provided to all events from Solhaven's North Market for those unfamiliar with the city.

==Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit==
==Events==
The 2024 Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit ran from May 8 through May 14.


The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was held in 5100 by the Lady Songie Fillee. The event was intended to celebrate art as well as the community of Solhaven, which had recently reopened trade with the northern frontier. Songie later established Cairnfang Manor and was its first Chairwoman, spearheading efforts to foster the rapidly growing community by her own actions. Cairnfang Manor gladly continues this now-annual tradition of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, showcasing works from artists across Elanthia while partnering with other organizations to run workshop events throughout the weeklong exhibit.
===House Hunts===
On the third Restday of every month, Cairnfang Manor organizes a monthly hunt for house members and non-members alike. The hunt begins in North Market at 8pm EST, after which the location and target of the hunt will be chosen based on the skill level of that month's attendees.


The theme of this year's Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit is '''The Adventuring Heart'''.


Exploration and adventure can capture the imagination like nothing else, whether it is in experiencing the thrill of braving the unknown, the joy of encountering foods and places for the first time, or the appreciation of new friends made over great distances and in spite of equally great differences. Adventurers regularly dedicate both heart and soul to these pursuits, and in turn they have helped to foster and improve communities at home. Commemorating its 20th run, the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit returns to its roots this year, once again embracing the Adventuring Heart that led to its very first exhibit.

Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait.  A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper.  The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards, however certain details of the group are meticulously rendered.  It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.

Cairnfang Manor, founded by Lady Songie Fillee, was designed to serve Solhaven, her people, her streets and her spirits. With that in mind the Manor strives to always bring fun events to the town of Solhaven, as well as supporting other groups. The Manor holds regular House Hunts, helps organize community events, and hosts three festivals each year - Winternights, the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, and the Seafarer's Festival.

About Cairnfang Manor

History

Founded in 2003, Cairnfang Manor was one of the original Player Hall Organizations. It transitioned to a Meeting Hall Organization in 2007 alongside the other PROs. On April 3, 2011, Cairnfang Manor became the newest member of the Cooperative Houses of Elanthia.

Statement of Purpose

As our pledge reminds us, our mission is three fold. Unhindered thinking reflects the ability to think clearly and act without prejudice of race, religious affiliation, or profession. Our hands to the community, indicates the work we do to make Solhaven a place where both the young and the aged are served to make life better for all. Our spirits to greater loyalty means we do everything within our power to promote our beloved Solhaven for the good of all, not just the individual or a certain group. We use our minds, talents, and hearts towards a better Solhaven.

Cairnfang Manor Charter and By-Laws

Symbols

Flag: a Cairnfang Manor banner

Framed by long brilliant peacock feathers is a billowing silk banner emblazoned with a royal blue star and an opalescent flame resting in an open hand. As light catches the material of the flame, it reflects a myriad of colors. The words Intellect, Flame, and Spirit are stitched on three of the sides. Carefully stitched below the star in the most eye-catching thread and in flowing script are the words, "Cairnfang Manor."

Pin: a golden gemstone-set triad

Cut into the image of an open hand is a sparkling diamond, its palm inlaid with a fiery ruby and scribed with the word, "Flame." Beside it is a sapphire shard in the shape of a slender banner inlaid with a silver star and the word, "Intellect." The final gem of this triad is a vibrant peacock feather cut from a multi-hued stone set with an emerald eye. Gold foil fills the word, "Spirit" etched along the length of the shaft. Each of the carved gems is secured with thin golden bands to a wide metal pin.

Meetings

Cairnfang Manor's monthly meeting is held on the second Restday of every month at 8pm EST. The meetings are held in the Cairnfang Manor Meeting Room. Monthly meetings are open to the public; non-members interested in attending may request an escort from a current member or via the Realm ESP channel while in Solhaven.

How to Join

Individuals interested in joining Cairnfang Manor may do by first attending meetings or other events held by the Manor so that they may become acquainted with the current members and officers of the Manor. After doing so, the interested individual must find a current member of the Manor willing to sponsor their membership. Once a sponsor has been found, the interested party must contact the Chairwoman (cairnfangmanor@gmail.com) to officially request membership. In order to join, the following additional requirements must be met:

  1. The interested character must be at least level 10.
  2. The interested character must be able to pay 25,000 silvers in dues.
  3. The interested character must agree to the Manor By-Laws

Events

Cairnfang Manor hosts three festivals each year. Songie, who was instrumental in founding Cairnfang Manor, hosted several events in Solhaven shortly after it opened up at the end of 1998. Some of those events are the foundation of current Cairnfang Manor festivals and traditions.

The first Snowball was hosted by Songie just after Solhaven opened up its trade routes to Wehnimer's Landing at the end of 5098, in the winter of early 5099. It became an annual tradition in Solhaven, and eventually Cairnfang Manor expanded beyond it to what is now Winternights in 5112. Winternights celebrates the community of Solhaven and invites all Solhaven organizations to participate.

The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was also hosted by Songie in late 5100, under the name of the Solhaven Academy of Art Grande Exhibit. Several years later, Cairnfang Manor resurrected the event under its new name, the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, and has been its formal host since. In 5119, the first additional workshop was introduced to the Art Exhibit, expanding it beyond the central judging event. The Grand Art Exhibit partners with a wide variety organizations that are willing to focus on the visual arts.

The first Seafarer's Festival was hosted by Cairnfang Manor in 5103, shortly after it was officially recognized as an organization. As the Manor's flagship festival, Cairnfang Manor takes the lead on events during it while partnering with other organizations that have ties to the seafaring community.

House Hunts

On the third Restday (Sunday) of every month, Cairnfang Manor organizes a monthly hunt for house members and non-members alike. The hunt begins in North Market at 10pm EST, after which the location and target of the hunt will be chosen based on the skill level of that month's attendees. Spells and bounty tasks are shared among those attending.

Winternights

Shortly after the opening of the public trade route between Wehnimer's Landing and Solhaven in 5098, Cairnfang Founder Lady Songee Fillee hosted the first annual Snowball. This event continued every year until 5112 when Cairnfang Manor extended the festivities into the annual Winternights. Every year, organizations local to Solhaven are invited to take part in the mid-winter festivities by hosting games and events, concluding with the traditional Snowball and occasionally a snowball fight. Escorts will be provided to all events from Solhaven's North Market for those unfamiliar with the city.

Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit

The 2024 Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit ran from May 8 through May 14.

The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was held in 5100 by the Lady Songie Fillee. The event was intended to celebrate art as well as the community of Solhaven, which had recently reopened trade with the northern frontier. Songie later established Cairnfang Manor and was its first Chairwoman, spearheading efforts to foster the rapidly growing community by her own actions. Cairnfang Manor gladly continues this now-annual tradition of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, showcasing works from artists across Elanthia while partnering with other organizations to run workshop events throughout the weeklong exhibit.

The theme of this year's Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit is The Adventuring Heart.

Exploration and adventure can capture the imagination like nothing else, whether it is in experiencing the thrill of braving the unknown, the joy of encountering foods and places for the first time, or the appreciation of new friends made over great distances and in spite of equally great differences. Adventurers regularly dedicate both heart and soul to these pursuits, and in turn they have helped to foster and improve communities at home. Commemorating its 20th run, the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit returns to its roots this year, once again embracing the Adventuring Heart that led to its very first exhibit.

Submission Information

Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and any other physical artwork are acceptable. (Poetry, writing, performances, etc. should be saved for other performance-based events.) The pieces submitted will be judged upon their subject matter, creativity, overall presentation, and relevancy to the Exhibit's theme, so choose something that is of interest to you and give it your all! While subject matter lies in the hands of the creator, we ask that submissions be suitable for viewing by audiences of mixed ages.

All artwork must be submitted in a manner that follows standard ALTER guidelines: 15/15/15 to describe the piece (i.e. a carved,linden-framed,painting), plus a show description for the artwork being displayed taking up no more than 511 characters, including punctuation and double spaces between sentences. An additional long description for the artwork is optional and should be kept fairly short if included. This will ensure all items follow a standard pattern and make for ease in displaying them. In addition, please include the full name of the artist submitting the work as well as a title, if it has one; the artist's name and title do NOT need to be part of the artwork's show description.

Any artwork that does not follow these rules will not be displayed. Some artwork may have minor changes prior to display per QC. See Owly's Super Useful GemStoneIV Alteration Template for formatting guidance. Artwork may be preserved as part of Cairnfang Manor's archives on the wiki.

Submission Example: 

a linden-framed,charcoal,portrait
Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait.  A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper.  The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards, however certain details of the group are meticulously rendered.  It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.

All pieces of artwork should be submitted to cairnfangmanor@gmail.com by no later than end of day on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. When submitting your piece, please make sure the subject mentions Art Exhibit, that you list the name of the artist submitting the piece, the title of the piece, and the full text description of the artwork. Multiple submissions by a single person (character OR player) are not allowed. Any questions can be sent to the same email address.

Artwork will go on display in Solhaven starting with the Exhibit's Opening Ceremony event and lasting for a full week. Winners will be announced at the Exhibit's Best in Show Awards event. Prizes are awarded to the Best in Show, Second Place, and Third Place entries.
