The guests from each kingdom and organizers of the event, however, got the participate here, in Fertile Valley. The directions given to every invitee made certain they took the trail that afforded them this perfect viewing angle. Weather the formation was somehow natural or a result of magick wrought was unknown, but it provided a spectacular view all the same. The trail wound around through the woods, eventually transitioning from dirt to a finely paved road as one neared the foot of the formation.<br/><br/>The festival grounds were at the 'bosom' of the landscape, at the end of the long journey upwards. Up there was established a veritable tent city. Organizers refused to deface the landscape and so chose instead these simple accommodations. Tents of various sizes dotted the verdant landscape, many of them set up by different kingdoms as luxury shelters, while others offered food and revelry. The main tent was in the center of the festivities, a grand structure that seemed big enough to hold two armies side-by-side, with two more stacked atop those. Flaps in the top of the tent were open to let in ample sunlight during the day, but could be closed in ill weather. For the night, hundreds of torches and magic lamps were set up, allowing the place to be fully lit no matter what time people gathered.<br/><br/>An entire side of the tent was dedicated to feasting, boasting chefs from every nation, each offering their own delicacy. The other side encompassed one of the natural springs on the formation, providing revelers a place to swim and relax in the naturally heated water. The middle was a mixture between open space for milling about, seating at tables of various sizes, and seating on the floor in piles of comfortable pillows. In the dead center of the tent sat a small wooden stage and podium, where organizers could announce anything important that was happening, or would be about to happen.<br/><br/>As the guests enter the Feast grounds, they are directed to their personal tent and then allowed free reign to explore. Disputes may be settled anywhere at any time, as long as all participants agree. Traditionally, a contract is written up, agreed upon and signed by both parties, usually stating the representatives of each kingdom, terms of the dispute, and what goes to the winner. In this way, all 'official' matches have their agreement in writing for both nations. The Feast, aside from being an amazing experience, is a chance to send one's best fighters to gain them new territory or settle grudges.
