For those unfamiliar, the mission of the Knights of the Sable Dragon and the Wyvern College for this training day is simple: spread wisdom and connections to the community at large independent of national affiliation. We adventurers spend so much time in the action with the groups we’re already with and while that’s great, it’s also crucial to step out of our comfort zone to learn from people who we’ve never met before and hopefully make some new friends along the way. I love learning new things and know that the people running this event have been working their butts off to make this event a blast!
The classes I want to take are about twice as large as my actual schedule, so if anyone has cheap cloning technology, hit me up. I plan on taking
- ASL for Realmsies
- Knight the Realms Challenge
- Dealing Poker for Fun and Profit
- Intro to Feastocrating: Meal Plan Planning (taught by someone who has a dietary restriction!)
- Third Line Healing
- Questing Triage
There is a plethora of classes on a wide range of topics from weapon teaching such as “Dueling with a Single Short” by Aelias Softshadow and “Intro to Piking” by Makhta and Freesia to “Etiquette 101” by Freesia and Makhta and many casino classes by the Lord of Clontarf himself, Tao. A more detailed description of each class can be found here. As for the food, it will be provided by Elizah who has handed out a dietary restriction registration form. As an aside, I have celiac disease, and it makes me feel so much more comfortable when EHs or feastocrats have dietary restriction forms beforehand instead of me having to reach out separately. Having a team at Leviathan dedicated to helping us was a breath of fresh air for many and I would like to see this become the norm, which is one of the reasons I’m so happy that the feasting class is taught by someone who has experience with dietary restrictions. Okay soapboxing over, where was I? Bring an open mind and whatever equipment you can think of for a fun day of chatter, food, and teaching.
In short, if you want to learn something or just hang out with knowledgeable friends, training day has it. Looking to sign up? Here’s the class link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSci-Kj7V-_EQBYbwqISjDNsMJWcTw9ZbSTCLOUi9qcEb3Tgzg/viewform
