Context

The Bridgian Convention – often abbreviated to BridgeCon – is held on the 18th of November each year, to commemorate the naming of Bridge Base on that day in 2020. It usually consists of a speech from the Devious One, a Bridgian song, and the release of a new Bridgeland Map.

BridgeCon 2023

BridgeCon 2023 was held in Bridgehaven, with the Devious One holding his speech upon the Treehouse located on its Hollybush. The 2023 Bridgeland Map was released then, alongside the song Planks A' Crashing.

BridgeCon 2024

BridgeCon 2024 was held in Base ν (or Twinside Base); the Devious One again held a speech, this time on the former site of the Twinside Treehouse. In his speech – which contained within it a sonnet; see below – he announced the 2024 Bridgeland Map, the Bridgian Herald, and the syllabic Bridgian writing-system. (Other members of the Foundation also held speeches, though theirs were much smaller and did not announce anything.)

The Bridgian sonnet:

To Dthenden we went starting new Base-life, The new Foundation moving ov'r again; For Bridge Base by itself causes its strife, Bycbeys-sa vey bhey þensa evenden.

Upon this day th'Æthûsan sun hangs low, Cooling the ground without its light-ful hand; But in this state to Base ν we all go, To celebrate the birth-day of our land.

This year's Convention is to mark the date, Four years ago that Bridge Base was so named; Without the knowledge of its future state, Ten months before the Bridgian Logs were claimed.

And now that I've addressèd comment's need, You may attend th'announcements by my lead.
