Lalia the fat beckons!
Date: Sunday November 14
Time: 7:30PM ((UK, 2:30PM servertime))
Location: Meet in the center of Tuckborough, The Shire. We’ll walk around a bit from there!
Tuckborough. Home to Tooks and Thains. The seat of power in the
Shire, where hobbit legends whisper to you from the smial walls. Oh, and
it is yule soon too. Perhaps we’ll be allowed to sample some of the
Took yule food?
About the field trip
Just who is the Thain, and what are his responsibilities? What is the
difference between the bounders and the hobbit militia? How did them
Tooks end up as a rich and powerful hobbit family? Oh, and what are the
hobbit yule traditions?
Answers to these questions, and possibly more, may be given during
the hobbit historical field trip. There are no guarantees, though!
Meet up in the center of Tuckborough. After a short walk, our
historians will present stories, tales, poetry and/or songs related to
hobbit lore. Food WILL be served, but of course, any hobbit knows that
the safest bet is to bring some of yer own.
Want to know more about hobbit history? Then be welcome along! The field trip should last between 1,5-2 hours.
((OOC details
The historical field trips have been running irregularly since 2009.
They combine a few lectures/stories of hobbit lore with a trip to
locations of hobbit interest. If yer want to know more about hobbit and
Shire history, this is yer chance. Remember that our historians often go
for a tall, exciting tale more than strict lore accuracy, though!
Given the subject matter, this is very much a hobbit-preferred event.
The odd loreseeking dwarf, man or elf interested in hobbit lore is
welcome along, but wouldn’t you rather just roll a hobbit alt for the
evening? ))
