Salutations,

To celebrate the Month of Scares, the Sect of Jackals will be hosting our own Harvest Festival alongside the other festivities.

With the assistance of Somerled, our lead adventurer, we have plans to set up an apple-bobbing basin in the Red Vixen Tavern (16226) as the Month comes nearer its close. Bobbing for apples will earn you a variety of prizes. I will make another announcement once this has been set in place.

In addition, there will be a Harvest raffle that runs for the duration of the Month of Scares.

To make purchase of tickets, include 1k gold per ticket in a signed letter and mail it to Caelbrook, Caelya, or Etienne. Once the letter has been received, we will message you with your ticket numbers.

Be certain to include your name and the number of tickets you would like to purchase in said letter. All unsigned letters will be considered gracious donations to the personal accounts of Caelya Talmarian.

At the end of the month, numbers will randomly chosen for the following prizes:

Prize #1: an ominous jack-o'-lantern tarantula.
Description - Massive by any stretch of the imagination, this titan amongst tarantulas looms ominously at almost seven feet in height, a ladder of corded webbing affixed to her harness to allow the adventurous rider atop her back. Her immense frame is covered in bristles that maintain a deceptive appearance of softness at a distance, though are quite coarse to the touch. Graveyard shades of greenish-black swath her thorax in the same sheen one may find in a raven's feathers, colours deepening at the edges to band each segmented limb in a contrast of oilslick black and amaranthine. Her abdomen, in contrast, is imbued with the rich purplish reds of old blood, a marking in bone-white upon it looking much akin to a skull. Numerous hand-painted black jack-o'-lanterns have been fastened to the arachnid's harness, their tallow candles casting eerily long shadows to play over her exoskeleton, while her eight sanguine eyes search for easy prey to seize from her surroundings.

Prize #2: Change your race with an ancestral stone etched with a gargoyle.

Prizes #3 - 7: Five winners will receive a tour of the Jackal's Temple, including ability to purchase unique items from our merchant.

Prizes #8-12: Need a unique title for the Month of Scares? Wish you were Hallowed, Cadaverous, Fiendish, Corrupted, or Nightmarish? Be one of five winners to receive a title token.

You may message myself or any representative of the Sect of Jackals with inquiries.

Sincerely,
Etienne A'thenelle

Penned by my hand on the 8th of Bellum, in the year 116 AM.
