2008-12-28 - GNN Kashyyyk Summer Festival

=Kashyyyk Summer Festival=
===Author: Grachazza===
It's summer on Kashyyyk, and the Wookiees are getting ready to celebrate! In what has, until now, been a celebration limited to Wookiees, the people of the trees are preparing to celebrate their annual Summer Festival, a celebration of the survival of another year and the prime hunting season. His Majesty, King Grachazza, has thrown open the celebration to all friends of Kashyyyk.
The central event of this week-long festival is the unarmed combat contests, to be held in the Kachiro Grand Arena. Brave Wookiees will put themselves to the test against one of a selection of Kashyyyki animals, all fearsome fighters. Outsiders are invited to take part, to prove their prowess to the Wookiees, however they are informed that they do so at their own risk. Medical staff will be on hand, but the risk of death or loss of limbs is present.
Other events to be held include demonstrations of Wookiee culture, including musical performances on drum and horn, arena fights between Wookiees (this time, not to the death, simply to the point of surrender), and a food fair showing the regional delights of the Wookiee clans.
Visitors are urged to remain inside Kachiro City for the duration of the festival. The wilds of Kashyyyk are a dangerous place, and the government takes no responsibility for the safety of those who leave the city.
On a final note, all visitors to Kashyyyk are encouraged to come in the traditional Wookiee attire. For those not familiar with Wookiee customs, this means naked, other than a bandolier (These provide all the pockets-based benefits of clothing, without the restrictions of excess fabric. They will be provided at no cost to all visitors.)
It is traditional that during this festival that Wookiees shed whatever extraneous clothing items they may choose to wear (such as hats and jewelery), for the simple lack of adornment that is most practical during a hunt. Those offworlders who wish to attend, but are unwilling to come in traditional attire, are strongly encouraged to come in minimal attire, such as that used for swimwear. Summers on Kashyyyk are hot and humid, excess attire has been deemed a health hazard.
<OOC Note: While nudity is encouraged ICly, please remember the rating of the game. If you come au natural, please make use of clever camera angles and refrain from lewd behavior, otherwise you'll frighten the children. Please, think of Liam's poor innocent mind.>
