maria and I were tossing around some ideas about a next event and I suggest a Fal Festival Merchants Fair. We could do the village up in harvest decor, invite Merchants from all Gorean cities to come display there wares since we are a Port City, then invite the community to sail to Ka'Zahr for the fair... I ahven't done a draft yet but what are all your thoughts on this?


The Sardar Fairs

The Gorean equivalent of the World's Fair on Earth, these are four huge
trade fairs which are held quarterly in the shadow of the Sardar Mountain
Range. Each young person of Gor is expected to make a pilgrimage to the
foot of the Sardar Mountains before he or she reaches their 25th birthday.
They typically last ten full days (plus at least that long for set up and break
down) and are scheduled to coincide with the solstices and equinoxes.
Therefore, the four annual Fairs are


The fair of En'Kara (March 21-30)
The fair of En'var (June 19-28)
The fair of Se'Kara (September 22-October 1)<----this one
The fair of Se'Var (December 21-30)

It was now the month of the vernal equinox on Gor, called En'Kara, or The First Kara. The full expression is En'Kara-Lar-Torvis, which means, rather literally, The First Turning of the Central Fire. Lar-Torvis is a Gorean expression for the sun. More commonly, though never in the context of time, the sun is referred to as Tor-Tu-Gor, or Light Upon the Home Stone. The month of the autumnal equinox is called fully Se'Kara-Lar-Torvis, but usually simply, Se'Kara, The Second Kara, or The Second Turning. As might be expected, there are related expressions for the months of the solstices, En'Var- Lar-Torvis and Se'Var-Lar-Torvis, or, again rather literally, the First Resting and the Second Resting of the Central Fire. These, however, like the other expressions, usually occur in speech only as En'Var and Se'Var, or The First Resting and The Second Resting.

"The contests at the fairs, however, I am pleased to say, offer nothing more dangerous than wrestling, with no holds to the death permitted. Most of the contests involve such things as racing, feats of strength, and skill with bow and spear. Other contests of interest pit choruses and poets and players of various cities against one another in the several theaters of the fair."

I vote for an auction (slave and free!), archery contest, kaissa competition, funniest limerick recital,  and ummm.. lots of merchants giving out free samples of their wares.  Especially the ones that deal in chocolate.
