Organized '''every spring''', this '''sailing ship race''' has been a great success ever since its inception. When looking for a complement to their grandiose Autumn Leaves Festival one of the members remembered the homeland regattas of his youth and his suggestion was met with much acclaim. While the race is very popular among the populace, with many dressing in the colors of their favorite team, '''the evening ball is a veritable who’s who of Stjordvik society''' and is the place to network for merchants, diplomats, and anyone in between.
 
==== The Regatta ====
From the first year on, the race has been open to everyone. Of course, it’s not cheap to participate, so usually '''only those with money take part'''; merchant houses and other organizations. [[Strebor's Corsairs]] have tried to enter but since it’s the Baron that hands out the '''Cove Cup''' to the winner this was swiftly nipped in the bud.
 
'''Most organizations don’t have their own ships but this is easily solved by hiring one specifically for the race'''. For the duration of the event ships are renamed to whatever the competitor (and organizer) deems appropriate. The rules stipulate that at least 25% of the crew need to be employees of the competitor so as to make the race more interesting.
 
Through an elaborate system of both magic and semaphores, '''the ship positions in the race are signaled to shore and displayed on large boards for all the people to see'''. Color commentary is added by salty seadogs and copious amounts of alcohol do the rest. Maybe due to the unpredictable results each year, '''betting on the outcome is quite fierce'''.
 
==== The Ball ====
For the evening event one of the large warehouses in town is '''transformed into an enchanting faux mansion'''. The '''food is catered by Norbana’s, supported by many other local eateries''', these are the most vied for contracts of the year.
 
'''The very best musicians play at the event''', the location is big enough to have several play at once and all acts are replaced hourly to give a chance to as many as possible.
 
'''Invitations''' for the ball are sent out by, and at the sole discretion of, the organizers and they are hotly lobbied for, as '''without one, one cannot be seen as a true member of Stjordvik high society'''.


Guests start arriving late afternoon, dressed in their best formal evening wear but the ball isn’t officially opened until the evening when the Baron hands out the Cove Cup.

This organization from the heartlands is where artists and gourmands congregate to exchange ideas and critique each other's creations.

Most organize a yearly 'grand feast' and smaller monthly gatherings but this is all up to the local chapters.

Chapters

GICOM

Having the gorgeous Ancee Museum as their meeting place has only spurred them on to greater and greater heights. With typical GICOM modesty they profess their chapter to be the zenith of good taste. While that might be hard to stomach, it is hard to argue that the food at these gatherings isn't the best in the world,

The appreciation for art here goes wider than in most chapters; beyond the to be expected visual arts there is also a deep appreciation for fine fashion and the kinesthetic arts.

Midtal

The Otteun are not necessarily known for their great appreciation of art or their refined cuisine. But that is not to say there aren't any connoisseurs among them, the chapter here is quite sizeable and their feasts very popular. Meetings are usually held at the Exchange of the Gods, the large covered market. They are well known for their monthly Festival of Fruits where whichever fruit is in season is celebrated with outlandish creations.

Stjordvik

The chapter is housed at Norbana’s, the city’s most laurelled restaurant and art gallery. Their monthly 'Taster Feasts' are known for being some of the largest attended events in probably the world. Anyone with any culinary panache takes part and tries to out-do the competition, to the delight of those paying the reasonable entrance fee. They organize two large events; the Autumn Leaves Festival and the Annual Stjordvik Regatta & Ball.
