For several weeks, excitement has been building in Kenabres - Armasse is coming! Traditionally an opportunity for scholars and priests to come together to study the lessons of history from wars past, since Aroden's death, this holy day has become more about training commoners in weaponry, choosing squires, and ordaining new priests. Over time, Armasse has grown to encompass jousting competitions, mock duels, battle reenactments, and other festival events. In Kenabres, the festival is eagerly anticipated, for it provides distractions from the horrors of being on the front line of the war. Smiles on faces normally marred by downcast eyes and furrowed brows do wonders for city morale in the weeks leading up to the event.



16 Arodus, AR4714 - Kenabres - Festival of Armasse

From the look and sound of Kenabas, you would not believe it was a city existing on the edge of a demon cesspit. People have arrived from all over Golarion and with the festivities about to start, the city carries a hopeful and lively atmosphere. Training, weapons demonstrations, friendly duels, contests of skill and valor, and all sorts of drinks, song, and revelry have overcome the city. Many of todays events are taking place across the city, but the main ceremony is supposed to take place in Clydwell Plaza, the park in Old Kenabres situated between the Cathedral of St. Clydwell and the Temple of Iomedae.

While things had gotten well underway by the time you arrived, Armasse will not to officially begin until Lord Hulrun, leader of Kenabres, had formally given the invocation at high noon. The sun lay nearly directly overhead as you make your way to the Plaza, hoping to find a good spot to take in the opening ceremony.
