TANAU
The Climb at the peak of Longheat might sound hellish for anyone who isn't an Ancient, but it's nevertheless the place to be today. Music warbles between crags and cliffsides, thumping through the hot baked ground in a rhythm that begs for movement and dance. The sound of laughter and celebration echoes along with it and, for those who draw close enough to take a proper look, the sprawl of a festival has appeared in one of the flat canyons.
The only shade available comes in the form of brightly coloured canopies and tents, blankets and cushions available for sitting and resting. Eclectic stalls clutter the area selling food licked by flame and spice, along with sparklers, games, incense, instruments and parasols. Drinks, of course, are flowing in abundance too, and small water stations have been set up along the outskirts of the celebrations for those who need them.
The very centre of the festival, though, is reserved for a bonfire large and formidable enough to make its neighbour in the Hollowed Grounds look positively dinky. Roaring with heat and colour, it's as though the spirit of Tanau himself is contained within the blaze. People gather and talk and dance beside its rippling heat (most not for too long, granted), and many toss offerings into the flames as if to supplicate the Longheat deity.
Welcome to the Longheat 320 Fire Festival! <3 This is a festival in celebration of Longheat's patron deity, Tanau!
Please post a minimum of THREE times in order for the SWE to count for MP/Levelling purposes.
If you have offerings for Tanau (whether discovered as Serendipities or simply brought IC) these should be cast into the communal bonfire to show your gratitude and to y'know, ask him to please stop burning everything. Also, whilst this is the first time IC we've hosted this festival, your characters would likely be aware of it as a tradition and know what to do!
