       Theme: Think of it as a Gorean Holiday Celebration, End of the
       Year Harvest Celebration
       THE PLOT
       Before Thassa becomes too hard to travel in the North and cold
       winter months, the Merchant Council of Freeport has opened the
       Great Hall to all Citizens and Guests for one final gathering of
       the year. Traders, Hunters, and People of all walks of life are
       welcome to visit, feast, enjoy the fruits of the harvest, the
       entertainment and camaraderie of games and performances. The
       stage in the Great Hall will be open to Free & Slave alike. The
       Stagger on Inn will offer reduced rates to house visitors during
       the Festival, the Broken Tabor Tavern will do the same of course
       but for Free Men only. For the Free please come visit shops,
       forge relationships, make trade agreements for the Spring. For
       the Slaves, sing, dance, put on comedy shows, whatever your
       owners might permit. The purpose of this gathering is to have
       fun before the chill of winter makes everyone retreat to the
       warm walls of their homes.
       This is not about long posts or eloquence, it's about presence.
       The prizes that are available will be raffled off during the
       duration of the event at random times!
