Gather for the post market festivities in the Combe and Wattle pub! Escorts and in-game transportation for visitors to Landroval provided from The Shire.

"Don't run around in circles! Come to Market Day!"

Details and FAQ:

• An open air bazaar, where players buy, sell, and trade goods by bartering "in-character" as part of a light role playing event.
  
• Attendees are spread across the market square, where they "bark" their goods and wares to passers by.
  
• A live auction of various items will anchor the middle portion of the event.
  
• Strolling troubadours provide music.
  
• Sons of Numenor will provide an escorted patrol from the Shire to Bree, to allow players visiting from other servers to attend with new characters.
  
• An Open Fellowship and volunteer Hunters will provide summons and porting travel to those requiring it.
  
• A traditional post-event gathering will be held in the Combe and Wattle pub.
  
• The event will be streamed live on Sons of Numenor's live streaming channel at Twitch TV. (www.SonsOfNumenor.com/streaming)
  
• The market sales and auction sales are not intended to generate any meaningful sum of coin. Attendees are explicitly requested to remain in the spirit of the event by focusing more on the fun of bartering, than the actual cost of goods.
• For more information, or to RSVP a spot as a merchant, please personal message Benjimir/Comstrike either in-game or here at the LOTRO.com forums.
  
  

This, too, sounds like a lot of fun. I most likely will not want to barter goods, since I already have everything I need, and then some. But I do plan to attend for the festive atmosphere. I can't wait!!!

ps: I really enjoy the SoNs-hosted events, and appreciate all of your efforts and hard work to organize them. Thanks in advance, and please keep them coming

Edit: I just saw a post about The Gates Of Summer event that is scheduled to begin at 9 pm edt the same day. Will you please work with Fionulla to resolve this scheduling conflict so everybody can attend both if they wish? (I want to go to both of them, and would be sad if I had to toss a coin to decide which to attend.) Thanks in advance
