Ice Maze and Performances
In the very centre of Fort Hold is a giant, sprawling ice maze with an inner court full of romantic-themed ice sculptures such as ice roses and dancing couples strewn about. There are numerous benches everywhere and a large stage with several seats for the night performances. During the day there are Harpers playing soothing music and anyone may enter. It is during the night that this place really comes to life though. At night the maze is closed to all but adults and brightly glowing glows are inserted into carefully illusioned-away holes in the maze walls and sculptures so that they are lit from within.
This place is definitely themed for couples and should a single person attempt to enter those in charge of the maze will hold them back to wait for another single person. Surprise! Blind date! It is as much for safety in the maze as it is to encourage a romantic atmosphere without the awkwardness of third wheels wandering around.
The night-time shows are romance-themed as well and are performed by some of the best performers on Pern. There are two Greek Epic style romance stories - one a tragedy and one a happy ending - as well as several iterations of classic Terran princess fairytales. The Epic style performances are geared to not boring the male audience and are packed full of knife fights and heroic deeds.
