Arrival of the barons – 29th Jygust ET (all read)

(OOC: this thread is purely for information – all PCs can assume knowledge of these events)

The day before the opening of the summer festival brought with it a long stream of new arrivals into Pax. Most were traders hoping to sell their wares or visitors wishing to participate in the games or attend the concerts. Amongst the most prominent newcomers were two barons and one baroness from the Border Estates. The lowest key arrival was the Baroness of Murrulbuck who arrived with a small group of servants through the portal. The other two arrivals were more noticeable. The sumptuously dressed Baron of Foreno arrived on a snow-white charger escorted by a large group of Foreno guardsmen resplendent in their blue and yellow livery. Strangely, he was greeted by Lieutenant Tamerton rather than the Baron’s son, the Provost. The final arrival was the most unusual of the three, the Baron of Hulmnoy accompanied by two of his daughters and a small group of retainers. The Baron appeared somewhat dishevelled and distracted, looking around nervously as he rode. He wore a helmet to which had been attached two antlers.

All three new arrivals were escorted to the guest quarters which had recently been constructed adjacent to the barracks and Provost Office.
