It had been a long while since the last festival, it appeared as if the happiness that it brought would be buried for centuries. It was understandable, really. The Aegis were growing bolder than ever, with their hordes attacking the cities increasingly. Everyone was vigilant, watching the tiniest of stirs. The tension had grown unbearable. It is in such times, that it is important to bring everyone together, as it did the first time after the Schism. Children of Drulkar, young and old, you are hereby invited to help us revive the festival, let us not forget the light, let us not forget the joy of unity. We stand together.

Istara's Chosen would love to welcome every dragon to attend Festival of Ash!
Set date; January 13th
Time: UNDECIDED AS OF YET
This is a cross-shard event that will take place in blight, and since it's an rp event, we expect you to act accordingly!
Before starting, however, following the previous festivals there has to be a Speaker of Flames, and since this is a cross-shard event then, we need two!
A speaker from Chaos shard and a speaker from Order shard, and thus this brings me to the point;
Nominees
The Speaker cannot be chosen by the hosts! Therefor, we bid the shards to decide on at least three nominees, then we will begin the process of for two speakers. One for each shard.
Rules;
1. Respect each other at all times. Any unnecessary behavior will result in exclusion from the event.
2. While the event is running, remember to be ALWAYS in character. Any OOC discussions are asked kindly to be marked by brackets (like this)
3. Please listen to the hosts; to make any event work, organisation and cooperation is needed. We kindly ask you to be alert and listen to our instructions. If you happen to misunderstand something or need further guidiance, then feel free to ask us![/LIST]
Following the previous festivals, the events will be as following;
1. A ceremony in Chiconis for Helian dragons, and a ceremony in Dralk for Lunus.
2. Procession of Helian dragons to Dralk
3. A speech by the speakers and the hosts.
4. Exchanging gifts and stories
5. Flight race
6. Hatchie foot race
7. A closing ceremony in Dralk's common lair, sharing stories and general chatter.
As an end note; if any of you happen to have attended previous festivals and remember what happened, we'd immensely appreciate the help. Any suggestions are also welcome! You can contact me via the forum or via my discord if you happen to be in the Istaria discord chat!

I nominate Racktor from Order as the order speaker :)

It's on foot!

I wanna make a good looking video for that. I forgot the camera controls agai tho XD. * gets to learn them again* I hope i'll be there. Time zones are so crazy.

Goodluck with your event. I will not be joining as I generally avoid RP content, since I do not wanna be the cause of unnecessary drama.
On January the 13th, I will be playing on Chaos, as usual .............. No, I refuse to patch :)

Aw, thank you <3 I'd gladly step up to the task if I'm 'elected' :)

I'll be there nonetheless, though! I missed the old festivals even though I was around when they went on.

Also, Aure asked me to link the nomination threads, so here they are!
Chaos: http://community.istaria.com/forum/s...782#post315782
Order: http://community.istaria.com/forum/s...783#post315783

Hoping I can make it to attend, my ancients on Blight are Darkwiing, Reagle, Falkor, and Negadragoon. so which ever, can invite. :)

Are you saying you wish to nominate one of your ancients?

Yep yep! :)

Great! You have to choose ONE of them however, please post your nomination http://community.istaria.com/forum/s...783#post315783

Don't think it was ever mentioned but we're probably going to be doing this at 4:00pm! ...I believe it's EST but I'll have to double check.

It's been way too long but I haven't really gotten around to/the time to really sum up events, so Ill just settle for posting some screenshots and this lovely video made by Pastle! :)

This screenshot is also from Theeda, but she took a much better view than me. Everyone who attended through the end (I know some had to go midway), with Order on the left and Chaos on the right. Thank you all for showing up! It was great fun, even if it took three million years to satisfy Pastle's seating concerns (Pastle you perfectionist!)

From left to right -
Order:
Mithent, Machaeon, Zzacku, Aurelea, Daisalee (in her paws), Morrowseer, Thelras, an alt of Silverth's (unfortunately I don't remember the name), Romirez, Racktor

Chaos (I'm not a Chaos player so forgive my spelling/memory):
Theeda, Guaran, Salwirk (Tilithia's dragon, is that the right name?), Vasteel, Fiedlerite, Taiyonnai, hatchling (Post who you are if you see this!! Sorry :( ), and Solarrian.

It was a little hard to get screenshots of the hatchling race / flight race or else I would have, haha

Awww, I'm sorry I missed this, it looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm glad to see that the Festival of Ash is still going strong after all these years and it means a lot to me to see all the fun events reborn from yesteryear. While I didn't make it or put it together this year, I still want to thank everyone who came, and for Racktor and Pastle for putting the video and images together for us.

Salwrik is husbands saris, Kaigara is my dragon XD hehehhe
Thanks for putting the pics and video.
