ANATHAEUM'S 376TH FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS WILL BE HELD THIS SOLSTICE IN ASTENVALE MONASTERY.
Welcome all to participate in the merriment as we greet the new year. Admittance is free, though those respectable lords and ladies may pay a charge to have their memory stones set in fine gold or silver by Anathaeum's apprentice smiths. Per the incident of past years, no fire-spray or combustibles may be brought upon monastery grounds, including spark rocks, flour, nor alcohols distilled above a certain content.
The darkest day of the year is one for celebration amongst the townships of the Marches. Lights are lit across the landscape in any form folks can muster - by lantern, magic or bonfire. These lights represent the memories of the past year survived, as well as the welcoming of the new year and the days growing longer.
Astenvale Monastery puts on its own Festival of Lights every year, opening its doors to any and all who wish to partake in the celebrations. Resident knights and traveling mages put their spellwork to the test, trying to outdo each other in an informal contest of lights. Naturally, folk from the neighboring towns gather to watch. Rumor has it that this year, the order has outdone themselves with the light show, inviting a guest illusionist to bolster their usual display.
The other highlight of the festival is the giving of memory stone pendants, which the knights do freely. This expensive enchantment is normally hard to come by, so many denizens make a pilgrimage to the humble monastery just to receive one.
OOC: Mages and magic users are encouraged to participate in the displays of light. Show the people and all in attendance what you got by putting on a festive show! If enough folks are interested, we can also do a simple dice rolling mechanic to determine the 'winner' of the light contest - otherwise, just have fun with it
Additionally, participants of the thread can grab a memory stone as free loot, and have it imbued at the festival. Get your memory stone put on display by the Master Illusionist, Murk Altov! Write a scene of a tale, or a memory dear to your character's heart that would be set into the anamnesic amber. Please keep these memories around the 200 word range to prioritize expediency for all to enjoy!
