THE DEITY FESTIVAL!

[FLYFLY]

It's time for ASR's first event! The Deity Festival :) We are sure that many of you will have questions about this, therefore we shall add to the information as we go! Feel free to send us PMs with any questions you may have? Or simply to ask about aspects about the Festival that we did not think to mention.

The Deity Festival has been celebrated in all of Ceradonia for centuries. It is so strong a tradition that even the wards that have plagued the lands have not made people forget. The festival is celebrated in the deities' honor in hopes that the countries will remain safe during the trecherous winter. However, this tradition does not apply to the North and South, who celebrate more out of religious tradition than any ulterior motive.

Juice --sweetened or fermented-- is made from the Kwondi fruit which ripens for only a week, near the end of autumn and then rots away to nothing. When fermented and taken in large doses, it has been said that the lucky ones will catch glimpses of the Deities.


Art is created during the festival, more so than any time of year.


This is the only festival that all of the Kingdoms share. However some customs may vary; the food and the dances will not be the same in each Kingdom.


Rumours are beginning to spread about the King and Queen of Niendra. They have always attended the Deity Festival in the past, however this year, they will not make an appearance. There are whispers about an illness that many have affected the couple to a point where they are unable to leave their chambers.
