Maple Syrup Day


This is a day when the market draws many talented cooks to the main street of Arx from all over Avrum to show their skill in making the most delicious deserts with the main ingredient - maple syrup, a favorite dessert ingredient from the Oathlands. Nobles and commoners alike are welcome to come and taste, and buy these sweet deserts.

Do not worry if you can not make maple syrup-based deserts, though. You are welcomed to come and show the traditional and favored deserts of your own lands. After all, two thirds of the coins gathered from the sold deserts will be given to charity in order to sweeten the life of the poor and orphans. We want to sell more!

Additional entertainments:

* Beauty procedures for women (and men!). You will learn that maple syrup mixed with some herbs may be very good to your skin.

* Maple syrup ring. Anyone can fight on a firm ground, but try to show your dexterity and balance in a slippery ring full of maple syrup. Wrestling championship.

* Workshop for children (and adults!), where you will be able to learn how to make your most favorite deserts!

"Please, ladies and lords, come and taste my best lemon cookies




"Please, ladies and lords, come and taste my best lemon cookies here," a merchant invites passerbies to his stall.



"Lemon cakes, hazelnut cookies, maple syrup biscuits!" introduces her goods another lovely rounded baker.



"You have never tasted that good cherry biscuits, trust me!" tries to convince passerbies another baker on the right line of stalls.



"Maple syrup, curd and various nuts, just the perfect combination in the cake!" Announces a tall man by a wooden stall adorned with Crafters Guild sigil, his personal mark and Valardin colors.



And many more voices coming from various directions combine into one together with cheerful music sounding in the air. The stalls of the merchants and bakers are decorated in colors of different Great Houses, and smaller houses, because everyone was welcomed here to show their talents of cooking. All this creates a mood of merry Maple Syrup Day fair which unites nobles and commoners, and people from different regions for a better cause.




There are some Mistresses dressed in simple white linen dresses walking between all the gathered people. Each of them has a brightly blue iris attched to the right side of their chest. Those mistresses are approaching women in this lovely fair, inviting them to follow them where some tables and chairs are prepared on the 'Beauty corner'. They are all proper and show understanding of the etiquette with all the curtsies and polite intonations. They explain that they offer hand massages, other beauty procedures and knowledges about the powers of maple syrup and herbs mixtures to make the skin brighter and softer or how to keep skin healthy and how to nurse the beauty in general.
Edain arrives.

There is a workshop prepared under a bigger blue tent where children and adults may talk to the bakers, and learn how to make some deserts themselves. Mostly, childish choir of laugh comes out from that blue tent mixed with some cries of few little ones. You can not expect an event for kids without tears.
(OOC) Aurelian says: what you missed. *gets a fryer*




Those who come closer by a huge rounded bowl set not so far away from the Fountain of Triumph may hear clapping, cheering and grumbling, sighs, curses, laughs, because wrestling in the maple syrup is actually a thing and actually happening. Currently two men are trying not to get stuck in a sticky and slippery basin of a sweet sweet liquid, while getting the opponent to submission or knockout. Finally, when one of them shouts out "I yield! I yield!" and tries to crawl out of the basin, the herald announces, "I can't believe it! I can't believe it! Third victory in a row! Well done, Larry, well done! Who is ready up for a challenge? Go forward. Anyone can fight on a firm ground, but try to show your dexterity and balance in a slippery ring full of maple syrup."
(OOC) Edain is hungry now!
(OOC) Alarissa awws.




Princess Alarissa Valardin may be found somewhere between all these commoners and nobles attracted to the City Center by delicious scents of biscuits, cookies, cakes, pies and other dainties. Of course, some may be lured in by the general idea of this charitable event. She is wearing a resplendent chevron-patterened gown in sumptuous white silk. A luxuriant high-collared robe of thin baby blue silk is keeping her safe from potential rain or cool breeze. Silver dragon head pendant glints on her neck and a chained white gold dragon rings flash in the light now and then, when she speaks to people and gestures toward one or the other direction helping them to find their way to various activities found in the City Center today.
(OOC) Aurelian says: lol
(OOC) Edain says: If No one shows up by 3pm, do you guys wanna cheer Edain on in his first round Joust against Viviana for her big decathalon thingy! She's asking people in the brackets do their prelims early in the week so the event times can be dedicated to the finals.
(OOC) Dorian says: Woops bad place to idle
