Regatta (
ri-ga't-ta) n: A time when the different chapters of the Cult of Crew meet around the world to test each other and themselves in some of the worst conditions known to man. These strange creatures attend these events, which can last up to several days, from
mid March to early November. They
will come, and they
will fight no matter weather. Only two things have the power to stop the cult members (commonly known as "rowers") from participating in these time-honored rituals: The Gods of Wind and Lightning. And even the God of Lightning is only powerful enough to pause the proceedings; without the
help of Wind, Lightning
will only delay the event for a mere half hour. On occasion, Wind
will ask his fellow gods, Rain, Cloud, Hail, Mud, Cold, and
Snow to help him in his quest to make the Rowers as miserable as possible. However, when Wind isn't looking, Sun
will often take pity on the Rowers and
will make himself known, brining hope and renewed spirit to the wretched souls. At the end of the event, the different chapters pack up their equipment and head home, only to begin preparing to attend another regatta the following weekend.
