Nidaros Rune Library, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – September 7, 2011 – by Ashlynn – Tuesday marked the first week of the Nidaros anniversary celebrations which began at the Nidaros Rune Library following the weekly statehood meeting. After the official business of the meeting was (swiftly) out of the way, Lord Maedhros announced the event and how exactly it would work.
After we were all split into teams, Lord Maedhros handed us a book containing various clues. Our task was to use the clue to find the appropriate location, a rune to which could be found somewhere in the library. The first team to find the rune would win that particular “round”. We would then all meet back at the library and move on to the second clue.
As a few people couldn’t stay long, and Mayor Zanku and Lord Maedhros were running the event, we decided to split into two teams of four: Carl, Nanoc, Winfield and Phoenix on team one, and Winmere, Enterprise, Teal and myself on team two.
There were six clues in total and they took us to every facet, and even the lost lands. Locations included blanche island, the docks of papua and an isolated island in Ter Mur. It was quite close at first, but eventually the second team proved victorious, if only by a few seconds.
Returning to the library, Lord Maedhros handed us a bag of prizes which included an inscribed glowing rune before we all finally retired for the night.
Next week will be the second of the anniversary events – The Blood Regatta. All those wishing to participate should arrive with a boat (and crew if you really want) and register their vessel in the race.
