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!

• 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.

1. Start Race begins at the Windermeer Stables
2. Pass through the entrance to Darkmoor
3. 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.
4. Circle the Stables in Crystabell
5. Ride to Fairhaven and DISMOUNT before entering the city. (This means before walking onto the wooden planks you must be off your Mount.)
6. Proceed to Windy Head and got to the Balcony.
7. Finish Initiate exchange with Nuit

• Ride to the nearest water.
• Try to out run the mob.
• Hope that the mob finds the rider next to you more appetizing.
• Dismount and engadge the mob.

Bacaussey Kedgy ASA CEO wrote:It has come to the attention of the Fairhaven Guard Chief that many homin do not posess the dapper that is needed to purchase one of their own Mektoub Mounts.

The Aeden Stable Association has gathered a considerable sum of dapper since it started selling the newer feed bales that are needed to adequately keep the mektoubs nourished. Rather than admit its monopoly on the feed trade and suffer the fines that they would incur, the ASA has decided to give one of its finer breed of Mektoubs away.

In order to fairly decide who gets the mektoub, Mrs. Abigail Derren, the local school teacher, has decided to recite a riddle. In the riddle will be the location of her sister Nuit and the free mektoub. You will have to retrieve something that is also in the riddle before she will turn over the mount to the right person.

This is not an impossible task for the average homin to complete, because the Guard Chief realizes, after a weekend trip with his nephew, that the ability to ride well does not always come with age. Some are born with this ability.
You can expect this riddle to be recited in the region of the Lakelands on Saturday February the 5th at approximately 8pm.
Good luck to all,
and buy Avendale's New Concentrated Feed Bales!
