Citizens of Lindblum, of Gaia, and all of our highly esteemed guests! Welcome to the annual Festival of the Hunt!

The schedule of events has been finalized, and here is what these next few days have in store for you all!

Today and tomorrow will be a warming up of sorts while we wait for everyone to arrive. We will have an opening ceremony just after noon, and those in our fine kingdom will be able to visit and see the various booths the locals have set up. There is everything from food to games to shops, so please make yourselves at home. Since the kingdom of Lindblum is hosting this festival as an ice breaker, to those who can show sufficient evidence that they're from another land are free to come to a station just outside of the castle to collect a gift bag and a small amount of gil to enjoy the festival with.

Traditionally, we host a feast at the end of the festival, but at Ms. Selphie's suggestion we've opted to move that up to before the hunt. Thus, on day three there will be a banquet open to all hunters and their friends. Following the feast there will be a formal ball. One of Lindblum's clothing shops has generously offered to provide formal wear to those who wish to participate but perhaps were unable to pack a spare before finding themselves here.

You're welcome to find a date for the ball or simply come as you are.

Finally, on the last day of the festival we will be having the Hunt, the details of which will be released after the ball.

That's all for now, but please enjoy yourselves!

Also feel free to use this post as a forum for seeking dates for the festival.
