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!
