Braan walked down the corridor leading towards the Main Hall of Ijaat Keep, the home of Clan Kell, his family. He passed a few of them on his way, nodding to them here and there. Most of them were wearing simple clothing, heavy shirt and pants lined with fur to help deal with the cold. A few wore their armor still, though they had removed their helmets. Braan had made it clear he did not want anyone to get the wrong idea with what this event was about. Clan Kell was hosting a party, not a war council. That would come later.
Finally he arrived in the Main Hall, the doors thrown wide open to let the heat of numerous fires flow from within. Dozens of tables were set up around the massive chamber, with servants putting down the last of the food and drinks that had taken several weeks to fully prepare. An open invitation had been sent out across multiple civilian traders that frequented Ijaat Keep, taking word of the event far and wide. All were to be welcomed to the festivities, as long as they came to enjoy themselves, and not to cause any harm. For those that had a more aggressive need to fulfill, there would be a grand hunt across the ice landscape of Saqqar.
Waving away a few servants that came towards him, Braan walked across the floor of the Main Hall to the large Arch placed just at the entrance, the doors there closed to keep out the cold. Engraved in the bricks of the Arch were dozens of names, each one with a symbol next to it. They were the names of those members of Clan Kell who had fallen, whether it be to time or by specific events. Braan remembered each one of them, their faces burned into his mind. He could only hope they rested easy now. This event would also serve to try and find those who might be willing to join Clan Kell, and help rebuild the Clan. It would take time, but it would be well worth the effort to see the halls of Ijaat Keep full once more. But that was not the most important thing. Turning, Braan watched as several more large barrels were brought into the Main Hall, a few of them already open and trailing liquid across the ground.
It was going to be a party to remember.

Hello everyone! This is an open thread to anyone who would like to come and party and have a general good time. I am hoping to get enough people together here that we can get a little hunting expedition going later, and plenty of stories and fun times to be had here. If you would like to attend just go ahead and make a post arriving at Ijaat Keep, specifically at the hangar of the Keep. So please, come around and have a great time!
