Freyaheim Vikings Make State Visit  to Kalahari!
Konnugr (King) Hrolf Kraki Leads His Vikings!
Drottning (Queen) Sumina Longhorn
and Ladies Agape, Moon, and Libra Accompany!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



All the glittering people of Kalahari were bursting with anticipation at the news that royalty from the fabled Northern Kingdom of Freyaheim were making a state visit to Kalahari.

We all wondered if these people wore furs? Did they chop off the heads of people who wore jewelry? Did they possess great white bears as big as camels? Did they drink as much as Captain Jack Docherty?

Well, all these questions and more were answered when the Viking longboat docked in Kalahari, met by Lady Josie North, Minister Afraa, and Palace officials. The King welcomed the Konnugr to the Palace


and the Konnugr and Drottning were seated in the Official Head of State Seats in the Palace Throne Room.


The lovely leader of the Lost Jungle of the Maya, Lexia Moonstone joined this high level conference at the King's invitation,


and after the official business, enjoyed a moment with the Drottning Sumina


After the trade negotiations, and other diplomatic business was completed, the official party repaired to the Delicious Syrup Tavern, where Roberta Honey prepared a large spread of food and drink, knowing the Vikings as she does! ahahaha


The Konnugr especially enjoyed the silk outfit, and silken dance moves of the Kalahari dancers




while King Hassan coordinated with Palace Slave Nada on various aspects of the welcome


The party concluded on a high note as Lady Josie prepared Aisha and Nilasso to put on a musical performance


and Nilasso's haunting accompaniment to Aisha's special Wakiyo dance provided the high point of the party.

TITANIC CAPTAINS BATTLE
Monday, 27 February 2017, 12:30 PM SLT
All Are Invited to the Arena!


Captain Jack Docherty

Captain Minghus

The King laid down the gauntlet to Captain Jack Docherty and Captain Minghus, after hearing their tall tales of the sea at the Tavern, as they were plied with food and drink by Tavern Manager Roberta Honey. Stories of wrestling with sea monsters, drinking with Davy Jones, and wenches won and lost at the toss of dice filled the air, and that gave King Hassan an idea.

The wily King decided that the good people of Kalahari could use a spectacle in the Mardi Gras season, the last celebration before Lent, when Christians prepare for the death of Jesus (betrayed by Judas) and his resurrection from the dead.

So the King challenged the captains to use a fist fight to settle who was the toughest sea captain in Kalahari (until the next drinking bout at the Delicious Syrup), and neither Captain could refuse such a challenge as that!

So the fist fight is on. The men will use the G&S HUD and the GM HUD, both of which are available at the dock, using the activating the fist fight setting. And both captains are taking their training seriously, as they were using their fists constantly to down beer at the Tavern.

The generous King offered a stunning prize to the winner: land comprising 3% of the land mass of the entire Kingdom, the location to in New Kalahari! And in addition to the fabulous estate offered by the King, Minister Afraa offered to do a private belly dance for the winner of the fight, and as you might imagine, neither man could contain his excitement!
