Do you feel the damp of the caves in your bones? The thump of the deep bass beat of the mines in your heart? The joy of a good drink in your veins? This month, we celebrate our Dwarven heritage! Every Saturday from 2-5PM EST in January, Dwarven District is hosting a party to celebrate our shared history and proud heritage. Every Saturday will have a new special event, and all month long we are hosting a variety of contests to help you return to your roots! All festivities will be taking place at our Town Hall (aka guild plot; 700,100) and Park (700, 0), located a short distance from the Dwarven District portal or straight ahead from the mine.

Last Saturday we partied it up in the mine with the ghost of Lord Willakers lighting the way. This Saturday (Jan. 10) we will test your knowledge of Dong Dank! At 3pm EST come watch Bipen, Grantharshammer and Overlord59 battle it out to see who knows most, and test your own knowledge to win a prize! Partying with food, drink, games (ever tried drunk parkour?) and fun will be going on from 2-5pm.

Then next week, we’ll be hosting a special play. It’ll be a blast! (Actors are still needed if you are interested!) Proper dwarven attire is encouraged, but not required. Don’t forget your ax! (Real dwarves don’t use hoes. Unless they are tending a farm.) The week after that, it’s a best peasant beard contest and best dwarven outfit contest! And for the final Saturday, it’s another big party where we announce the winners of the Build and Story contest.

For the build contest we need a statue, monument, house, whatever! for our brand new park that celebrates Dwarven heritage and culture. We invite everyone to submit a build using the Dwarven block palette that is maximum 9x9x9 and the winner will be placed into our park (due January 17). For the story contest we want your best stories that to you show what it means to be a Dwarf, maximum 5 pages long (due January 24). The winner will be read at our closing party.

If you have any questions, contact Peity. We look forward to celebrating with you!
