[SWE] Fiat Lux

flowerbirth Nature always prevails, and those who respect it most know to show it due appreciation. So even with the turbulence at the Spire - even with the death, the sadness, the unease and the conflict between Natural and Outlander, the preparations continued. Quietly, serenely, a festival was building. And even when the Spire was breached - even when the barrier shattered like so much stardust and the world beyond was revealed in all its vibrance and glory - Fiat Lux would not be ignored. A celebration of renewal, resilience, rebirth... paying homage to Rae and all that thrived in the wake of the longest night. The fact that the world had opened its doors to them at long last only made the festival more important. And so, from dawn until dusk, the sound of sweet music, of laughter and conversation and merrymaking would drift across the fields - fields marked by bright flags and bunting, by ribbons and streamers in abundance. A variety of stalls had been set up, offering games of chance and food and drink galore, and there was plenty of space for dancing and conversing. In fact, for those not native to the place, one would think that the Naturals were all but inhuman in their ability to celebrate long and hard, to shrug off the inertia of Deepfrost and embrace the sun. Speaking of which - a sun had been fashioned out of a great wheel - a Wheel of Fire - and attendees of the festival could often be seen lighting a candle to set it upon the perimeter, keeping the light alive. Fiat Lux was late arriving, but very much welcomed by all. Welcome to the SWE for Fiat Lux! You need to reply to this thread twice to get credit for the seasonal event requirement.
