Dragonfest II, 1096 AF.
By Lucifien Veladorn of House Arcane.
At the start of the fifth month on 1096, the Dragons Gathered for our annual meeting before the faction attended the moots.
In attendance were the court of Erin, including Lord General, the God King Figticious Figmenti, ruler of Erin, Baron Lachlan of Dalriada, as well as Lord Ash.On the Cymrian side notable attendees were Lord Arcane, ruler of Cymria, Lord Chancellor Drinin Drinaku, Baron Locutus Wolkenhaur, and of course Wretch!
Altogether over 100 of the faction came to hold court, and especially notable in strength were the Morghun familt, the Eldari, Slieve Galleon and the Black Talons.
The proceedings got off to the usual start with the joint rulers holding open court. It was pronounced that at the fest several positions of responsibility in the faction would be on offer, this included the posts of paladins of Danu and the Dragons champion(who would fight Owain Caradog for the right to wear the Dragon armour for the next year). At this meeting one surprise announcment was made, that being the investiture of Lady Ishtar Morghun to the post of Knight Arcane, with all the priveleges that go with it.
All gathered at the castle for the challenge for the Dragon armour. At this point the infamous incident with Lachlans Kilt occurred. While speaking to the assembled masses, several of the women of the faction including Olav and Jennyflit the Kenders as well as some of the Feely Feys assaulted the fornamed Baron. A brief struggle ensued which resulted in the dekilting of Lachlan, luckily had a rather large cloak to cover himself. At which point the red mage stood, and cast a fumble spell upon the unfortunate Lachlan, who proceeded to attemp to cover himself with the only thing he had left - his trusty tankard. Whence all the laughter had died down it was decreed that a new law should be introduced. Namely that anyone found guilty of dekilting any Dragon, must then sleep with that person the very same night. This then put certain mischievous females off from repeating the venture(only before Fig was got, who had not yet had chance to appear)
The combat which followed was entertaining for all, with some exellent displays of swordsmanship, and also an appearance of the Eldonian ambulance to ferry the fallen from the ring. The finals were withheld until the next day, for then the winner would fight caradog for the armour.
That night saw a exellent nights entertainment, which included a bar brawl started by the members of the navy who had some shore leave. After this Lord Ash led the assembled throng in a selection of well know songs from the region, including "Breck's navy" and "If you want to find the Dragons..."
The festivities failed to continue into the next day though, as the heavens openened and it was decided to postpone the final fight until the faction mooot, only weeks away. All the Dragons departed after a exellent weekend, confident that the faction would be more than a match for any who opposed us at the moot.
