A Scottish Moose Tale Collegium
(2011-04-16 - Site opens at 9:00 AM & Closes at 9:00 PM)
Highland Foorde
As the weather turns from cold and crisp to warm and inviting, the people of Highland Foorde look forward to the return of their moose to the fields. This year the moose are expecting a visiting cousin to join the herd. Their much loved Scottish cousin sent word that he would be visiting our lands, however, rumor has it that the visiting moose has been stopped along the way.
Fret with worry, the people of Highland Foorde have decided to hold a collegium in order to inform themselves of the cultures of some of the various places they have heard the moose may be held. This is in hope of being able to send people to these places and seek out their friend. In addition to discussing various cultures and their clothing, they will also be discussing the various monsters of the sea they may find along the way, calligraphy, so they may be able to communicate between their different search groups, and many other subjects that will assist in their search.
It is the hope of the people of Highland Foorde that the people of Atlantia will come forward to learn with them and help them seek out their moose. Knowing that our Scottish cousin is very much interested in learning and the arts, we hope by enhancing our own knowledge that word will get out to him and he will find himself in good hands.
