Calendar and Events

Around the first week of Gozran - Spring Fair at Fort Inevitable. During the first week of spring , a large contingent of Hellknight reinforcements arrive from Cheliax. Merchant wagons from all over the River Kingdoms and beyond use this occasion to ride as part of a heavily guarded and protected convoy, and leave a week later when Hellknights whose tour is done return to Cheliax.

Kuthona 31 - The Night of the Pale

This is a morbid revelry, as people wait indoors for the ghosts of last year's dead to pass by their homes.

Around Rova 1st - The arrival of the fall merchants' caravan heralds the start of the Festival of Songs and the beginning of the harvest season. New Hellknights recruits relieve guards from Fort Inevitable, while seasoned soldiers take a few days of rest before heading north to the Mendev crusades. The Festival of Songs celebrates both the musical talent (good and bad) of the inhabitants of Fort Inevitable and their drunken propensities. This is the one festival where the taps flow freely and public drunkenness is allowed, and it ranks as the most preferred holiday by the residents of the area. Along with the vast numbers of stands serving everything from foods to spices, clothes, weapons, and other exotic services, there are ale stations at just about every street corner, and four main events highlight this day: Hell's Race, which takes place around the training fields and on Juliver Way; the Dueling Song Blades, where opponents fight with musical reed swords and attempt to make the best song while delivering blows on each other; the Drunken Daggers feat, where opponents throw daggers at a target; and the main event, the Songs of Fools, where participants are encouraged to pen and perform an original bawdy song in as bad a manner as possible. The worst performance, as judged by the crowd, wins the grand prize.
