It is a Season of Scrutiny.

The Gullet is an inlet from the Shaper’s Sea on the coast of Uasa, choked with hidden sandbanks, weeds, mist, and worse dangers still. Only the Pilots of Bealcaoch know their way through the Gullet, and one of their number must be on every ship, boat, or dinghy going past the cliffs that guard the entrance to the bay. However, word has spread that an increasing number of ships are ignoring this rule, and attempting the trip without a licensed Pilot. Under pressure from the Pilots Guild, House Velvet Mist, and the families of those who have perished in the Gullet in such trips Rider Lachtna of Scornach has hired Cumhacht na Réige to set up an encampment by the dock and ensure only legitimate trips are allowed embark. As the band sets up their camp on the 34th Spring, 802 TR, several days of scrutiny await them.

2020

A Season of Scrutiny was intended to be the third Five Oaths event, taking place on 17 to 19 April 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions introduced by the Irish Government, the event was cancelled.

The Gallóglaigh band march for the Learned Realm of Draíod, where the underground cities teem with secrets and the vast caverns hold untold treasure and danger. Ardbealach is the most prosperous riding above ground in Draíod, serving as the main trade route between the surface and several major towns and colleges below. However a spate of magical item thefts and rabbles of Broken Chains threaten the stability and prosperity of the riding and even worse, rumours abound that there will be a major Gwyllt attack on a local ritual circle. The band has been hired to guard the ritual circle from the machinations of the Gwyllt, and to restore peace and security to Ardbealach.
