NOTE: BoY will meet every Saturday at 2:00 AM GMT; there was a typo in the poster.
IC:
A young Enkidukai darts down the stairs of Hydlaa's town square, a large packet of papers bundled in his scruffy golden fur. Sweat glistened on his brow, but his eyes were wild with determination.
Ignoring the gawking stares of the townspeople, the youth climbs the statue of Laanx in the center of the plaza until he is balancing on the very top of its head. Clearing his throat and staring down at the crowd gathered beneath him, he begins to speak:
"Hear ye, hear ye! By the order of Lady Kaelith Kheep, Azure Wind of Yliakum, wife to Delsabor Nash, and master musician and storyteller, I hereby give you this message that — ah!"
Before he could finish, the young boy lost his footing and slipped from the statue. He landed several feet below in the fountain with a large splash, the papers he was carrying drifting down like a parchment rainshower. An older, rather aristocratic-looking Ynwnn paused from the walk with her husband to pick up the paper, which had caught her eye. Adjusting her monocle and squinting a bit, she read the message.

OOC:
Yes, the message is horribly done, excuse me.
That aside, let me introduce myself. My name is Jill, better known in-game as Kae'lith Kheep, a vagabond fenki. Whilst my father was busy in my youth running round the countryside causing who-knows-what havoc, I grew up learning the ropes of being a bard from my mother. After my not-so-pleasant teen years, and now at the ripe age of 20, I have decided to pick up my skills again and share my stories with the whole of Yliakum.
That is why I've started the Bards of Yliakum, aka myself for now. My job is to spread the lore and myths of the world to its every day inhabitants, for entertainment and possible RP moments. I'd like to bring everyone in one night a week for stories, poetry, and laughter, allowing for tons of role play and fun for no money whatsoever. Every Saturday at 10:00 PM EST (I believe that's 17:00 GMT?) I will hold this event at either of the taverns in the world, either Kada-El's or The Broken Door. Every first and third Saturday, the Bard of Yliakum will travel to Kada-El's Tavern in Hydlaa for the night. Every second and fourth Saturday of the month will be held at The Broken Door in Ojevada. This is to encourage the expansion of our organization and to make sure it doesn't interfere with too many other events already taking place there.
But I want you to help, too! There's only so much I can do alone. So if you have a story or poem you'd like me to tell, feel free to send it to me and I'll do my best to tell it. I'll also allow a "coffeehouse" style atmosphere and allow you to come in and share your works yourself!
All in all, I hope this can get off to a good start. The first meeting will take place this Saturday at Kada-El's. Hope to see you there!
