Novus - 2022 Grape Harvest Festival

Ave Dudes & Dudettes,

These days should have already been up and running Novus Autumn Impalong, cancelled unfortunately due to a busy RL schedule. On the other hand, I suddenly found out that my schedule's wide open for an undetermined period of time - which is not actual good news for me but I am trying to make lemonade - so I do have a lot of time to kill until RL decides otherwise (but RL can leave me alone for a while, I am ready for Xmas!). Long story short, I invite you all to harvest grapes, have fun and do whatever you want to do (will consider any proposals for games until the official schedule of events will be posted here). And now, the promo:

Famous for its fair and generous ruler, Emperor Juliuscaesar, the United Kingdom is also reputed for its great wines. Located in the center of the univ Novus, United Kingdom has access to the finest grapes known to man, both green and blue. The history of grapes in UK dates back to 5000 yea a few months ago when I was finally able to expand my deed North. During the 2022 Grape Harvest Festival, which is an international event (people from 3 servers are expected to attend), you can sample the grapes, chat with the farmers, and witness the extraordinary nature of UK that is sure to take your breath away. The grape harvesting festivities are traditionally organized to celebrate fertility, proliferation, being together, and enthusiasm. In the festival area set next to the ancient Temple of the Gods where a Priestpalooza will take place, it is possible to find merchant booths, folklore and fireworks shows, food offerings, competitions, grape and wine treats.
