EVENT SPECIFIC INFO  .  the event will take place from the start of this post to fri., nov. 18th. if you would like to submit your characters to the jousting tournament, please do so before thurs, nov 3 as that is when i will be doing the brackets. 

the festival is nothing intense, just food + good vendors coming out to sell their wares and monopolize on the high traffic in king’s landing. the fur vendors have come out in droves, of course.

the coronation takes place on the first official day of the festivities, but many of those vendors have been around for the days leading up. we won’t actually write that event due to time constraints.

use the tag: rfms.event03, please only tag opens with the starter tag + ofc as usual everyone gets one free open and tbh just prioritize replying to opens as you’re able and you can post more than that.

OOC INFO  .  the king’s death is a direct result of the poisoning from the maester even after months of trying to treat him. his funeral was held prior to the arrival of many but feel free to have any northern houses have attended + arrived in time. 

this will place our characters as traveling through early winter, snowy but nothing that can’t be traveled safely if done right. it will be a stark change for many southerners who have never experienced snow before.

another post will be made with updates sent to the main regarding betrothals, marriages and deaths / large changes.

for any questions please just ask ! was a bit braindead writing this, likely forgot important bits.

as we have changed the date a few times, here is a full timeline of what is expected activity wise. ( times are relevant to cst ) there will be an activity check done tomorrow for anyone who has not posted at all in the previous 7 days. if you know you will fall on this check + be unable to post in time, please message the main so we can give you some leniency ! but do note this is a check, not an auto unfollow. players will have time to post ic. a full activity check will still be done on wednesday morning across all characters + accounts. at this point any new characters need to be posted on as well or they will simply be reopened.

both jousters ready themselves once more, all in attendance at the edges of their seats for this finale. as the ride towards one another no soul can guess who will come out victorious, but as lord rodrick’s lance strikes the king in his center chest and unseats him from his horse, the winner is clear.
