The Dermorian approaches the kiosk gingerly. He takes a beautifully calligraphed scroll from his bag and smooths it out, then tacks it up in a prominent position. Next to the notice he ties a snowbud, tied in a blue and white ribbon. The notice reads:
The Novari Celebration of Xiosia and Community Feast
The Daughters of Xiosia (DoX) and the Sons of Xiosia (SoX) invite ye all and each to the Novarti Celebration of Xiosia followed by a breaking of fast with a Community Feast!

All are welcome no matter your ic religious affiliation. Thanks to Cryptus and the WotH and Anysu we have lots of donated food, but more desserts or beer or pies.... yeah, more pies! would be appreciated!
And one more reader would help- if you have a Xiosian' follower character and would like to be part of a short reading in the ceremony, please pm me. I have the script!
It will be a fun event, time for rp and hanging out at the feast, and even some *ahem* small miracles might occur :whistling: Please come!
[No Xiosia will not appear, this is not Xiosiamas]
Questions? Pm me or talk to RR in game. Thanks everyone! See you sunday!! \\o//
Thankees to everyone who was involved in and attended the Xiosia Celebration and Community Feast!
WOW!
It was really fun, and great to have both returning oldbies and newbies... great to listen to various rps after the formal ceremony, and great to have the Goddess make herself known! Plus seeing Evirea get schooled by Xiosia was the best miracle of all!! The flowers growing around Aleeane's feet, the birds singing in the deep cold of winter, and the plethora of food and drink, it was abundance in the snow!
The tributes to Aeryenia (sorry I am spelling that wrong, :( ) and Lolitra were touching. Thank you Siteya and all the Daughters for bringing your hearts and stories together, and thanks to the Returning SoX like Deror for reading and heartfelt responses. [If you're interested in being a SoX let me know the SoX are not a guild so you don't have to leave your Guild to participate :whistling: :whistling: ]
Thanks to all the help from the Gods in the Machine too for setting up the tables and miracles! \\o//
Of course I'm sure you all agree, the very best part was seeing Roled's fabulously amazing clothing... heheheeh :sorcerer:
Thank you to everyone!! \\o// Happy Solstice~ Blessed Be!
