House Dethsiris Aerial Race

Attention all Mephos, and Rook Riders as well as Open Air Flyers!

House Dethsiris is hosting an Aerial Race event...tentatively set for August (the 1st)... Time set to be at 2:00 PM Eastern time. . Open to all Noble Houses that have Mephos and Rook Riders as well as Open Air Flyers that want to come and compete for Awards, Title Recognition and not to mention Bragging Rights...

The classes competing will be Mephos and Rook Riders as well as Open Air Flyers. There will be some unbonded Mephos and Rooks for anyone also that would like to take a try in competing as well

The course will be set to start at Dethsiris Castle. Each competitor will be given (5) spears. In the case of the Open Air Class, those competitors will be provided a bow with a quiver of (5) arrows. They will depart from the starting point in Dethsiris Castle following a planned course that will lead each Rider to fly over each of the sacred temples (Adenver, Ishtar, Gaea and Kirva) where a hoop will be placed on the pinnacle of each temple.. (see link below that shows the planned route,) The rider will need to pass each Temple and throw a spear to pass thru each hoop. Each successful shot gains the rider a point. (Hit / Miss to be determined by Q Dice roll)..The attempts will be as you pass with no stopping or hovering....a final hoop will be placed for the rider upon returning to Dethsiris Castle which will end the run. Riders will be staged one at a time so as to not get entangled with another rider during the flight. Points will be tallied and the top three Riders will be awarded..

"This is a precision course to test the skill of each Rider who competes.."

The top winner of all three classes will compete against each other for the title of Grand Champion and will be given a special award and recognition along with a special voucher for their effort and skill.

"Note:In the case of a tie for first place in any class, A Ride Off will be held to decide the winner"

All interested respond to this message if you wish to attend and what class you want to compete in…
and spectators are welcome to watch...

Food and refreshments will be catered by Callista’s Vulpine Cuisine

We didn't have very many people show up for the originally scheduled start time, so we've pushed it back to Sunday, August 1 at 2 pm. Please re-confirm your participation below, and if you didn't sign up before but would like to now because the new start time works better for you, you are also welcome to do so.
