EVENT: Iksay Harvest Festival

[1000_npcs]

The day of the Harvest Festival has fallen upon Iksay, and the atmosphere has never felt more cheery for such an early noon. As one would expect of the traditional festival, extensive preparations have been made, and it's the first time in a long while that anyone has seen Iksay brimming with such energy ever since it got raided in that fateful surprise attack.

Upon entering the small village, one would immediately notice the colourful decorations, as well as the banquet in the town center. The sound of upbeat music can be heard louder with each step taken towards the festivities. The townspeople are friendly to outsiders, but watch out, you might get whisked away in an impromptu dance -- traditional Iksay folk dancers are known to swap partners on several occasions mid-song!

Odd? In what way?

It is unlike any festival I have ever attended.

Any festivals I attended would have taken place Rainwall or Haud, the larger cities of the area. The farmers would make themselves presentable for those, not the other way around.

I am...uncertain what to expect.

Mr. Euram, parties are all about the unexpected! Just think of it as a surprise birthday party! What's there to be worried about?

The parties I am familiar with were quite the opposite. A standard formula, and explicit expectations.

If there are truly no such rules here, then I am more out of depth than I previously thought.

Hehe, perhaps you need a guide! ♥ I've never fancied myself for one, but I could teach you how to blend in with the lowborns!! It'll be great!
