Icicle Isle
it's only too cold when you're standing still
Midsommarsummer solstice festival |
ARRIVAL
It doesn’t matter if one comes using the Meadow portal, has requested a teleport, or if one comes through the known means of transport. Whether by air, water or magic, the arrival place is the same; a meadow of short grass, interrupted by small rocks and icelandic moss, and spaceous enough for most every visitor to walk around and check out the Isle.
The sound of preparations of festivities can be heard, and looking around, one can see why. To the west, the blackened but alive forest is decorated with what looks like small white flowers and patches of ice, a track that can be followed for the curious. To the east, the field that you have arrived in is relatively empty, but farther away ice glistens in the morning sun like a mirror. To the north, space has been cleared for what seems to be some sort of tournament or games.
Wherever you decide to head, you and all who come with you, are invited to discover the wonders of the coldest island in Beqanna; it’s secrets today are for you to find out.
ACTIVITIES:
*Forest: a track to be followed, earlier in the day to be used for a game of hide and seek, later in the afternoon will host a race between the trees.
*Meadow (north side): Highland Games - rock throwing, tree branch throwing, and walking over a tree stem which is placed over water. We’ll close with the race through the forest
*Meadow (east side): a maze with walls of clear and mirroring ice, sure to confuse anyone who enters and certain to entertain horses of every age
*Eternal snow area (just north of the Games area): blocks and ‘rocks’ of ice have been gathered in preparation of a building competition for the younger ones (but older siblings and parents are encouraged to participate as well)
*Flaming tree and heart shaped lake: this area functions as a traditional Maypole and will host a dance when the sun hits the horizon
*Don’t miss the surprise flower crown coronation of Yanhua, who has just taken over Taiga’s leadership!
RULES
*This is a party! Be nice enough or get thrown out
*Depending on how many horses join for the ‘competitions’, we can roll dice to see who won.

Two things I know I can make: pretty kids, and people mad.
