[SWE] Festival of Lights - 312 PC

Festival of Lights Not so long ago, the Barrows played host to a few long tables, a would-be prince, a food fight, and a man getting his pants pulled down. And if nothing more, the experience would serve as a good memory in the minds of those who had attended. Because that is what the Barrows is all about tonight - memories, of those who had fallen in this world or another, recently or long ago. Lights mark out a pathway through the grasses to the festival, and more dot the darkness all around. Some are decorated lanterns from those who are already in attendance, having found a good place to set down their offerings. Others are vampire gourds (not live ones, obviously), candles and tealights places within their hollow shells to give ghoulish entrance to the party. There's gentle music, the bubble of conversation, and meetings between people who may not have seen each other all year. But whilst there's most certainly an atmosphere of joviality and cheer and remembrance, the night sky overhead seems very dark indeed. As if something up there is holding its breath, daring for the sort of interruption that had befallen last year's festivities. Welcome to the 312 PC Festival of Lights! This SWE is open to Naturals and Outlanders alike, and for the first time, is being held in King's End! Please come and hang your lanterns to remember those your characters have lost. This thread will remain open until the end of the month, at which time perhaps Ludo will appear to choose its favourite lantern, and to bestow a gift. This is the main lantern-hanging thread. Feel free to have off-shoot threads for your other activities if you like!
