S O L T E R R A SEASONAL TASKS
A notice has been posted in the central courtyard of the Day Court for all to see... SUMMER YEAR 501 Solterra is in revolution. With the rise of a new ruler and the banding together of outcasts and warriors alike, a kingdom is reforming. Near by rivers still full from the waning rainy season breathe into the roch beneath the foundations of the Day Court Fort and then on to Elatus Canyon providing the Day court with plenty of water, though food is incredibly scarce. All COMMONERS, CARETAKERS and SAGES and their champions are asked to plant a food garden in the shady areas to the rear of the court. Commander Maxence will lead the pegasi to transfer fertile soil from the banks of the Rapax in slings two days prior so there is a generous amount of fertile soil in which the food can grow. Those without flight may either cart water from the underground spring or hoe the existing terrain. One the labor is done, the seeds must be sewn and watered. Warriors from near and far have flocked to the Day Court and begun thier service to Solis, as is the Solterra way. But to be the best we ought to train the best. It is easy to ascertain that the warriors of the sun are at a disadvantage to any other in Novus - we live where plants do not grow and thus eat only where and when we can, we toil in thick and relentless heat, in sand, on stone, in scrub. While other courts train upon luscious flat prairies or padded fields, we make do with the crumbling sand dunes of the Mors - perhaps the only place soft enough against a fall to train in all of the kingdom, but half the time spent is keeping your feet in one place. All WARRIORS and REGIME and will push the boulders and rocks at the very front of the court into a circular formation to create the boundary for a training ring. It should be at least eighty meters wide and the same length. YOUTHS will pluck the remaining rocks from inside the boundaries, leaving the arena sand pristine and hazard free. Please pass this message on to any without the gift of literacy. |
