Donation to Japan Relief Fund

Winter has hit the Empire of Rokugan hard, and to make matters worse Earthquakes and Tsunamis are hitting Japan too. Is the Path of the Destroyer leading it towards Earth? We do not know.
However, the Divine Empress has requested that we offer help and kindly services to the nation which had inspired the Rokugani Existence in its time of peril.
Therefore humbled by her Empress's requests, we at the Tavern have decided to host a tournament and offer all profits from that tournament to Charitable organizations that are channeling help into Japan. Up to now we are trying to discuss with the Red Crescent society of Malaysia, but we are open to any society that is legitimately offering help.
Our problem? Not enough visible support.
Therefore, we would like to invite all players to participate in the event that would be hosted this saturday 26/3/2011

The Black Scrolls

There was a note pinned to the door of the tavern this morning, it read:

"The scorpions do not appreciate the fact that their entire history is set out for public viewing. While we appreciate your efforts, we would like you to ask before partaking this sort of activities. Yours Appreciatively, Bayushi "

Therefore, the Peddler now would like to request that those of the Scorpion who would like to contribute to their clan histories please step forward and offer your donations :)

Ancestral Shrine

Shrine to the Ancestors

---------------------------------

The peddler woke up with a start, looking around he noticed that his dream became infused with bits of reality. Voices started wafting in slowly around him, starting as muffled voices, slowly becoming mumbles and gradually clarifying into words and ideas.

"Hail Peddler, heed our summons.."
"Errr, yes and who are you? It sounds like there's a lot of you around me. Where's this place? It doesn't feel like the Tavern anymore."
"We are the spirits of the ancestors... You ask a lot of questions don't you Peddler, hmmm?"
"Oh quit scaring him Akodo, we are here to pass you a message Peddler. With our blessings of course."
"Don't you just favor him because he's Isawa too? We need you to do something, it is of utmost importance to us that we do not be forgotten by the coming generations.."
"Yes, just like Bayushi said, we do not wish to be forgotten. Thus, it is to you that the duty of keeping the roster of families shall be passed on."
"How poetic, just like a typical Doji... What he means is that he wants you to keep a record of our names. Please do not forget that our Utaku family name came from the Otaku family but are different."
"Remember how we Kuni fought hard defending the Kaiu wall, even after it being overrun by those vermin from the south."
"The Celestials are passing, and the memory of war might be forgotten with it. Keep it with you child and let it guide you forward."
"You must have really hit something hard Akodo, where's the Fire in you? It sounds uncharacteristic of you to be so melancholic."
"Leave him be Yoritomo, Satsu might still be around so you may have his guidance, Peddler."
"WOW!! Enough talking to my head guys, that's alot of you and only 1 of me. All you want is a memorial right? I'll see to it..."
"We rest our names with you mortal..."

The room clears a little bit, and the Peddler notices a distorted face in the wall, he groans "Oh man, Daigotsu too??"
"No, I'm Fu Leng. See that you do not leave me out, or you shall suffer..."

The air clears and the Peddler sighs, he walks over to a table and writes down a poem.

"Today, ISawA Moto bike running past a Daihatsu lorry and ran into a Honda Akodo;
A Doji fellow walked out of the car and said, OI you read or not?(Yoritomo) this is one way only leh!
The motobike person say, EH! AKuni sakitla!
The car driver say, Cheh! troublesome till die!(In hokkien, Cheh TOGASHI)\
Lastly the lorry driver looks at me and says, OI see what? go buy your shit (BAYUSHI) la"
Poem written for the sake of fun and is not intended to hurt anyone's feelings, the author will remove all copies of it from his PC/HDD at any request to do so.

Well the Ancestral Histories have been compiled and now rests in the Tavern, thus the Tavern officially invites anyone who wold like to donate to the Ancestral Histories and also would like to pay their respects to the Ancestors to step forward.

Elder Dragon Council League

A Letter Arrived at the Tavern This morning and it read:
"
Planeswalking Peddler,
With Regards to the attached letter I, Crosis, decree that the Tavern shall be named as the OFFICIAL Event Hall For the Gauntlet of the Elder Dragons.
I Leave it into your mortal minds to design the Gauntlet and Make sure it Succeeds.
Fail, and your kind shall perish

Signed,
Crosis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has never been easy when you're and ancient Dragon don't you think? These mere mortals keep bugging you no end with their Dragonslaying and other fanciful whims, I'm rather envious of the dragons who live in the modern times. They are almost always left alone to their own devices, save our Cousin Lochness of course I wonder how she's coping with the stress always being on the news.
Well that's enough of idle chatter for now eh? Let's get to discuss the more serious matters that affect our Council of Elder Dragons.
The younger generations of Council members have yet to prove their strength, therefore the Seniors have recommended that we put down the gauntlet and see how they fare.
The entire Senior Council has agreed, and is awaiting your vote on this matter. We would like this to proceed on the 5th of March 2011 at the crack of midnight, while all the human eyes are averted.
The Council will expect your reply by the 3rd of March 2011.


Yours Faithfully,
Rith
"

Calling all Elder Dragon Planeswalkers, Crosis Has decreed his Agreement to the official Letter of Gauntlet by Rith. The Senior Council has now decided by a majority of votes to organize the OFFICIAL EDH LEAGUE!!
