It has come to the attention of the Fairhaven Guard Chief that during last seasons invasion of Kitin in the Bounty Beaches we lost many a fine messenger to those damned beasts.
Guard Chief Mac'Cautty Deppan wrote:With the Kitin presence ever growing, now is the time to have accurate and timely reports from our outer boundaries. The recent knowledge of how to tame and ride Mektoub would allow our messenger to cover longer distances in a much shorter time. This ability has created a new post as my personal messenger.
In order to find the right homin for the job, we will be holding a Race next week. The first to cross the finish in Windy Head will have first crack at the job.
Good Luck to all participants!
Corporal Bareiliam Derren has given the responsibility of judging and monitoring this event to the guild Synergy. He feels that their neutrality to the Kami and Karavan would prevent any problems with the results of the race.
Here are the details:
- The race will commence at 8:00pm EST on February the 11th. This should give enough time to finish the race before the contest begins.
- The race is composed of checkpoints. You must reach each checkpoint in order as given before passing onto the next one. Failure to follow checkpoints in order will get you disqualified.
- There is no set road you must take to get to each checkpoint. If you know a shortcut, take it, but you cannot go out of the order that the checkpoints are in.
- Riders can and will at times have numbers of cloppers and goari chasing them. Be warned that you can die and so can your mount. We will not be held responsible.
- You must be in a group with one Synergy guild member in order to be actively participating in the race. By joining one of these groups, Synergy is no longer responsible for your well being or your mounts. We will do all we can to get you up if you do fall or at the worst we will notify your next of kin.
This is the order of the race:
- Start Race begins at the Windermeer Stables
- Pass through the entrance to Darkmoor
- Go between the Synergy Member and the Karavan Teleport in Dew Drops
The Synergy Member will be saying "Checkpoint" in around chat so that you can easily tell where he is. - Circle the Stables in Crystabell
- Ride to Fairhaven and DISMOUNT before entering the city. (This means before walking onto the wooden planks you must be off your Mount.)
- Proceed to Windy Head and got to the Balcony.
- Finish Initiate exchange with Nuit
In addition to the possibility of becoming the personal messenger to the Guard Chief, the guard has opened its vault to all of the contestants. Many weapons and armor have been siezed throughout the years from bandits. This is said to be the pick of the bunch.
Top five place holders will have a choice of one of the following items, with First Place getting first pick and so on. These Items will be made to order at the end of race to tailor the prize to that of the winner:
Choice Waving Sword
Medium Armor with hp boost
Light Armor with hp boost
Light Armor with focus boost
Magic Amplifier of healing
Jewelry set with HP boost
Set of Shield and 1handed Sword
More items may be available at time of race. Quality subject to change
All contestants will recieve food for thier mektoub for participating.
If you have any questions or comments please leave them here or contact me in-game. Good Luck all and hope to see you there!
I will let you in on a little secret... I am doing this for my newborn daughter... no one else... I like that game, but I do not have the time anymore. My first priority is to my daughter. End of story.
