The Crystal Festival

The Crystal Festival is approaching! It is a time for change, for hope, and for testing one's strength against the mighty Knights of Moarfyre!

Even though the war against the Saulen has ended, the three cities continue to be burdened by the losses they suffered; they have forsaken their people, resources, and -for some- honor to ensure the freedom of the world.

As the threat of the Saulen still lingers, Moarfyre holds the greatest potential to unify the lands, however, its leadership has found itself in a precarious position: the Moarfyre Council is one member short. As such, for the past several months, almost no major edicts have come to pass; the Moarfyre Council has even numbers with no breaker of ties and some believe that politics within the city have held the leadership at an impasse. Many have come to the Grand city for aid however the ongoing stalemate prohibits any action.

But some say that hope has returned! One Tas’ril Imturematril has come back to the city of his birth, petitioning for his father’s place in both the Order of Knights and the Council of Moarfyre. The date for the Vote has been set for the Crystal Festival, the only day in the year the common folk are allowed to view- and even influence- the voting process. Its said that people are coming from all across talus hoping to be heard by the Council directly, or just to view the festivities.

The festival is also the best way for the common folk to settle problems with the Knights, or to make a name for themselves. By tradition, anyone can challenge a knight to a friendly (and non-lethal) duel. Normally this is a way for apprentice knights and squires to prove their mettle, but occasionally an angry peasant has been known to use the tradition as a way to settle grudges.

Talus yearns for healing as many scattered souls across the lands have had a taste of war in this new world and now call out for leadership once more. But shadows lurk in the aftermath of recent trials and only heroes can find the path to peace.
