A Yule moot
Bring in the New Year in Middle-earth, a social gathering event for the Free Peoples of Laurelin, hosted by Ranatuor and Hogmanay the Pig!
Event details
The year draws to a close. The
midnight hour is near. Middle-earth has witnessed many many things this last
year, for good and for ill. But now we stand at a crossroads, the past behind
us and the future in front, ours to take. As a wise man once said, “All we have
to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Let us bring in the New Year with celebration! Let us remember those we have left behind but be joyous for those still with us, standing by our side.
Hogmanay the Pig, with his amazing cart of fireworks, will be joining your host Ranatuor at a special venue in the Thorin’s Hall Homesteads. It’s a big night in for 2022, a fellowship of fun and a Yule moot (meeting) for anyone and everyone.
All are welcome*
There we can set off fireworks, fly kites, drink good ale, sing and dance. Music will be played. There will be some gift-giving. We will party like there is no tomorrow!
* Obviously, be polite and courteous to your fellow party goers. We want to maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Really this shouldn’t need to be said, but you just never know.
OCC Details
A social gathering for New Year’s Eve, organised by Ranatuor. Musicians, bands and storytellers are welcome to take the stage to delight the gathered party goers. This is a social gathering, RP is of course welcome but not required.
Just what is Hogmanay? Well, I’ve been a bit cheeky and named the Anniversary Pig pet (with a wagon of fireworks firing away in his wake) Hogmanay, a nod to the Scottish New Year celebrations.

In 2021 I ran a (nearly) 24 hour marathon event ([URL=https://greenbookofthewhitedowns.blogspot.com/2021/12/31-december-2021-hogmanay-pigs-big.html]details here[/url]), seeing in each hour with gathered players and across world chat. This year I will be hosting from 8pm UK and celebrating the hour onwards until we leave the UK. If there are any over the pond who want to celebrate at their time, I’ll organise to wake up and do so with them.
