pulling the chariot - Court Official - 01-01-2020

capturing the
sun

With the rains of Flowerbirth gone, LongHeat is a time of light. A Fae legend has it that if the sun is captured, the days can stay long forever, and with the horrors of LongNight still fresh in mind and the hardships of Flowerbirth only days past, keeping the sun around seems a worthy if not lofty task.

LongHeat is a time of celebration and mirth for the Fae, and they have cultivated tales and legends that usher in the changing of seasons with excitement and anticipation. This excitement is spreading with the opening of the barrier and the discovery of Halo - perhaps this tradition is growing beyond the Greatwood!



Welcome to the LongHeat seasonal event, a 2-parter! The second portion of the seasonal event will begin on Feb 1.


All requirements must be met to complete the event. Multiple characters can participate, but the threads do not carry across! (I.E. Both characters must complete all threads to gain +2 stat each).

Please include {SE} somewhere in your thread title.

Please complete the following requirements:

1. Learn about, or teach someone about, the "Capturing the Sun" myth
2. Weave/trade for/somehow acquire a basket to capture the sun with
3. Capture the sun! Or at least, try to! This can be trying to scoop it out of the water with your basket, using perspective to make it appear as if you have done so, etc, etc.
4. Give an offering, sing a song, tell a story, etc to Safrin to keep her occupied so that she stays distracted and doesn't bring the night back too quickly!
5. Create/acquire a present to bring to the Midnight Gathering on FEB 1.

In order to have completed this Seasonal Event you must post in this thread prior to the end of the season with threads/descriptions of how you've completed the SE. Failure to do this will result in no stats being awarded, nor can these threads be used for SWE/SE levelling requirements.
