Some historical background:

Spoiler

 

itha is a pagan holiday; one of their eight sabbats during the year. Litha (also known as Midsummer) occurs on the summer solstice, and celebrates the beginning of summer. The traditions of Litha appear to be borrowed from many cultures. Most ancient cultures celebrated the summer solstice in some way. The Celts celebrated Litha with hilltop bonfires and dancing. Many people attempted to jump over or through the bonfires for good luck.

Other European traditions included setting large wheels on fire, and rolling them down a hill into a body of water. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, and in some traditions, Litha is when a battle between light and dark takes place. In this battle, the Oak King and the Holly King battle for control. During each solstice, they battle for power, and the balance shifts. The Oak King, who represents daylight, rules from the winter solstice (Yule) to Litha. During this time, the days steadily get longer. However, during Litha, the Holly King wins this battle, and the days get steadily darker until Yule.

 

 

Now that everyone has read all the boring stuff time to share some of the stuff i have in store for everyone.

The basic guidelines for imping/enchanting:

  • Gear and enchantments will be targeted at 70 ql and casts.
  • Any gear you want imped/enchanted should be dropped directly into it's corresponding labeled coffin/forge/shelves with your name, and if you're getting an enchantment, desired spells.
  • If the tool is a skiller (low ql), mark it as such as well so it is not accidentally improved.
  • Items should be picked up whenever possible to save space. If your item is not picked up and space is short, it will be moved to an overflow area - contact an event staffer to retrieve it for you.
  • Double check the crafting menu for the item to ensure it's skill corresponds to the drop-off.
  • Some commonly misplaced items: 
    • Carving Knife, Sickle, and Scythe (blade only) are Bladesmithing.
    • Finished Sickle, and Scythe are  Weaponsmithing.
    • (Cooking) Knife and Leather Knife are Blacksmithing.
    • Fishing rods are Fine carpentry.
    • Light Fishing Reels are Carpentry.
    • Medium Reels are Fine Carpentry.
    • The deep water reel is Blacksmithing.
    • The professional Reel is Jewelrysmithing.
    • Dredges are Blacksmithing.

What to bring: 

  • All items a person wishes to have improved or enchanted (only one per of each item for each player except for arrows, horse shoes, and armor pieces).
  • One full set of armor (leather, chain, plate) per person, in addition to one set of wool or cloth clothing.
  • 2 sets (8 total) horse shoes, 2 saddles, 2 saddlebags, and 2 bridles.
  • A quiver full of arrows
  • Large items such as forges, floor looms, spinning, wheels, larders, etc. are welcome.
  • Wagons and carts will be imped in the marked area; please park accordingly.

Event manners:

  • Carts and wagons not being imped should be parked in the area marked off the highway - please do not bring vehicles into the imping building unless dropping off and removing cart right after. 
  • Hell horses should be parked in fenced areas.
  • Tents should be setup at the marked campground. 
  • Turn off personal light sources (lamps, etc.) to reduce lag.
  • Don't bring a dozen items of the same type - don't sell off stuff that is improved/enchanted. Our impers and priests are giving precious time for free - it's not cool to abuse that!
