A Night in Ust-Esverh House Slumberwood invites the Regalian populus to a festival inspired by one of the most well known cultures in their lands, the Szabadok. To provide the most authentic experience possible and really make it feel like “A Night in Ust-Esverh” much of this event will be conducted in an approximation of a traditional Szabadok yurt which could be seen throughout Ust-Esverh. Various Szabadok skills and arts will be demonstrated including: Weaving and Sewing The Szabadok are known for their ability to create large amounts of yurt tents while maintaining a beautiful artistic quality to their practical and easily moved cloth walls. Cooking The Szabadok, due to their nomadic lifestyle, have developed cuisine unlike any other including the frequent use of goat cheese and a wide diversity in items used due to their ever-changing ability to access certain goods. Guests will be able to watch the creation of and sample some traditional Szabadok cuisine while hearing about its unique origins. Archery Guests will be able to learn about the development of Szabadok’s famous archery skill while on horseback, how it came to be, and the techniques that make Szabadok so successful. This will be accompanied by lessons in traditional Szabadok archery styles and a competition between guests. Music Experience the unique Szabadok style of percussion-accompanied singing and the many ballads and songs their history has inspired. Szabadok have imprinted their history on Baldmarkian music in a way that cannot be overstated.
