Basically its an event held every five year not one year (correct me if I'm wrong). It is held at a different domain each year (based on a previously determined order). All of the regents call a temporary peace and put aside their differences to come and chat and make allies, enemies, etc. Basically its a huge session of intrigue where nothing ever goes normal.
The Sword and Crown adventure set plot goes basically like this if I remember right (I've since sold the adventure...). The regents all meet at the PCs realm. Various regents, particularly Boeruine and Avan offer gifts to the PC to suck up and show off (it helps the PCs cover the huge amount of GBs they have to spend to hold the event). Avan's daughter is kidnapped by troops wearing Beoruine tabards (an obvious ruse). However, during the kidnapping elves kill both sets of troops and take the girl. Boeruine is still blamed. The chick is taken to Rhoubhes' castle and held for ransom to sucker PCs or other regents for Rhoubhe to kill. Avan's daughter is actually in league with Rhoubhe. Beoruine is put on trial unless the PCs recuse the daughter and make everything cheery agian. It provides a means for the PC to side with BR or AV or offend both, but unlikely to appease both. BR is happy the PCs help help him, but Avan wants justice and avoid embarassment by revealing that his daughter is in with Rhoubhe. Straighten me out if I missed stuff guys.. its been at least 3-4 years since I played this.Servant of the Most High,

Has anyone hashed out a tmeline of the S&C's? Which is the 'official' number coming up? I had calculated this out for inclusion into the Ghoere Sourcebook I wrote but never actually drew up anything on it other than this.

Since all campaigns are at different points in time, you'll have to do your own math...Servant of the Most High,
