The sun shines brighter, the days are longer, and a festive cheer spreads across the realm. Yes, the wait is finally over: Summerfest, the much-anticipated annual event in Telara, is back! For a whole year, the Ascended have been yearning for this joyous celebration, and now the time has come to partake in the merriment.
Unraveling the Origins of Summerfest
The origins of Summerfest are steeped in antiquity and mystery. Believed to have its roots in ancient elven rituals, the event has evolved significantly over the centuries. Scholars suggest that these rituals involved the burning of sacrifices inside wicker figures, a rather barbaric practice by today's standards. Such practices, now considered taboo, are forbidden by both High Elves and Kelari, and are largely forgotten, with the exception of the occasional reference by a disgruntled Dwarf.
What remains of these ancient traditions in contemporary Telara is a vibrant celebration of flames that resonates with all Ascended. More than just a nod to its fiery past, Summerfest has evolved into the holiday that marks the longest days of summer in Telara. It is a time when the Ascended set aside their worries, embrace ancient traditions, and indulge in the spirit of fun, even in the sweltering heat. The event provides a welcome distraction for the inhabitants of Telara, taking their minds off the near-constant threats against their world.
