Once upon a time, in our Land of Khalifia, there lived a King and his Archmage.
Seeing that their birthdays were close together, the Archmage proposed a shared celebratory festival, reasoning that guests would be more grateful for one spectacular event than two lesser ones. The King agreed at once. After consulting the almanac for auspicious days, they fixed the date of the festival for the 24th of August, and invited noblemen, dignitaries, and a few select members of the landed gentry to eat, drink, and be merry.
Please telepathically assist me in wishing Dave Shanske (alias "GWG") a very happy birthdave.
