Personally, I think Calladuran’s festival seems the most beautiful. Whatever you might be celebrating, happy holidays folks.

I think there should be a Festivus, just so we can air our grievances with WotC!

Well, I would probably be attending the Candle Feast at the Tower of Gold to celebrate the Waukeenar festival Orbar.

Otherwise, may your feasts be filled with joy.

Midwinter is after Hammer, which is the first month of the year.

If you did a straight one for one with January first being the first of Hammer, then December 25th is Nightal 24th.

Oh, in that case I would still be down at the Tower of Gold for Resilement, the celebration of Waukeen's return. The Waukeenar can get a bit preachy, but the ale/food is free.

I was not on slut street, no matter what people's scrying's may have shown and I resent that rumor.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

I didn't see you there, because I wasn't there either. Honest truth.

Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world...

Don't worry. We all know how the rattatosks of Yggdrasil love to stir up trouble by spreading gossip.

Guys/Gals, the next time you are Iriaebor, just let me know. There are several reputable establishments that can provide you with a jhasamira or jhasamir* of your liking. They even provide free dance lessons if this is for one of the city's many balls so you will be able to competently participate in the dance (be it a lammuer, tonset, or whirl).


*Jhasamir (jhays-UH-meer)/jhasamira (jhays-UH-meeruh) are Calishite terms that mean "pretty prince"/"pretty princess". They are the socially respectable escorts. The term is used in Iriaebor because the first widely successful, high-class escort business was established centuries ago by someone that immigrated from the Shoon Empire. The term was just adopted by the wealthy merchant class of Iriaebor at the time and it has remained in use ever since.

Edit: added pronunciation.

Do the jhasamir speak fluent Alzhedo? The PC wizard in the campaign I DM decided to join the Guardian Wizards as a warder. Languages are his favored specialization.

There are a few that speak Alzehdo. Every escort will be proficient in etiquette and dance. Since the city is a crossroads for merchants from different areas, there will be ones that are knowledgeable about different cultures including their most common language. There is also one establishment, Tower of the Emerald Eaves, whose escorts are combat trained to help provide protection for those times when being surrounded with guards would be inappropriate.

I may need to take this to Private Messaging. The campaign I DM is already splitting apart. The PC wizard I mentioned is provisionally a so-called floater but will eventually be reassigned to a permanent post.
