Today is the last chance to nominate your choices for King, Queen and Chancellor of Fantasy Faire.
Is this Shakespeare’s year? Or will another author/genre of fantasy sweep the board?
Voting booths will appear in the Fairelands this week, once the nominations have been collated!
My first day at Fantasy Faire 2016 had been the traditional mixture of awe, mead, more awe, more mead and keeping a beady eye and a worried ear out for Elves, especially singing Elves. So far, so good on that front.
Today, I decided, would be a good day for a beard trim or some culture. I opted for culture, the beard trim can wait. A kindly being pointed me away from the nearest tavern and in the direction of something called LitFest, muttering something about my health. Apparently LitFest is a celebration of all things literary and if there’s one thing a Dwarfin likes, it’s a good old tale or two.
The location of this literary fest was a pavilion, where a crowd had gathered to hear tales from a little red monster by the name of Caledonia Skytower.
At first I feared it may be a trap, or a hangover. However the little red monster had a soothing voice and told quite the fantastical tale. I suspect magic may have been at play here, but I have no hard evidence of this.
Further tales will be told today as well as a short story discussion group followed by a region tour and hopefully mead, dancing and merriment! I do not know if any Elves will be making an appearance but if they do, be wary of them, as I’ve said many times, never trust an Elf … or a Halfling.
One human whom I’ve met over the years at Fantasy Faire goes by the name of Saffia Widdershins. I’m tempted to say you can trust Saffia, although I do have some suspicions that Saffia possesses magical powers. No ordinary human could be at so many events, for so many hours without some sort of magical assistance. I will get to the bottom of this one day!
Tomorrow they are celebrating the works of a human by the name of Shakespeare, apparently he had a beard too. I’m told his work was very popular, I shall have to attend the festivities.
Now, off to find that nearest tavern and contemplate the rest of my day. Hopefully a tavern The Elves haven’t descended upon, did I mention that you should never trust Elves?
