[SWE] Festival of Lights

Festival of Lights The Black Lake is illuminated with warmth and light on this night; if this is your first time visiting, you might be fooled into thinking that this is not a place as dark and secretive as it normally is if only because of the light spilled by the lanterns and the way dusk is obscurring the ruins of the Spire. On the water, some lanterns float on tiny boats while others sway on the breeze held above the ground on staffs stuck into the soft, spongey earth. When last has such a festival been held in the Hollowed Grounds? Years and years and years. But with the turn of Leafchange we find ourselves nearing the end of the year, and with it the Festival of Lights. So it is that all over Caido an effort is made to reach the Grounds; by foot or wagon, by skyboat or magic. And so they gather, they bring their lanterns painted and decorated in memory of those who have died, they light them, they hang them, and they wait. And who knows; perhaps a familiar face will walk hallowed grounds once more before the night is through. Welcome to the Festival of Lights - 316 PC! You have SEVEN DAYS to have your character arrive at the festival. For SE completion, you MUST HAVE STARTED YOUR LANTERN THREAD BEFORE POSTING HERE. If you have made a lantern, link your thread in the bottom of your post and state who the lantern is for. At the end of the festival, Ludo will choose a lantern as its favourite, and spooky things may happen! You will need to post at least twice in this SWE thread for it to count for SE, MP and/or levelling.
