Charon Summer Festival!
Summer is a grand time in Charon and is celebrated throughout the land by almost every citizen. To celebrate the bountiful season, The Royal family hosts a massive festival in the city, an island-wide party that lasts for weeks. The capitol is draped in colorful banners and streamers, costumed performers roam the streets putting on shows of talent, and food dishes from all across Charon are stuffed into the faces of happy, joyful Charonians.
We are here Charon Family! We have made it to One Year and are celebrating our anniversary along with our summer festival! This Festival is for you, to celebrate our amazing community and everything we have accomplished in the last year!
End of Summer Giveaway
To celebrate our anniversary and the end of our summer season, we are doing a giveaway! Just reply to this thread stating which item from the list below you wish to claim and on which character. You may only claim one item per member but can choose any of your characters to give it to.
This giveaway closes on September 1st
Mystical Archive Ticket | One Mystical Archive ticket which can be used to claim an item from our monthly rotating Mystical Archive | Currency |
Armored Banner | A set of lightweight armor given to mounts used in jousting, often decorated with sigils or banners of the owners' house. This item is crafted to specifically fit your mount (can be repurposed if the mount changes) and offers the mount protection during battle. The mount wearing this armor has two hit preventions against physical martial attacks. | Item |
Tourney Favor | This favor appears as a charm decorated with various sheer ribbons and veils; they are often given out as gifts from adoring fans, family, significant others, or admiring apprentices before an event. This charm can be attached to one weapon, giving it an additional enchantment slot. The item does not need to have originally had an enchantment slot but must be a weapon. A weapon can only have one Tourney Favor applied to it at a time. | Item |
Annoying Fanfare Trumpet | A long, slender trumpet decorated with a banner received from the Summer Festival; it can be extended and retracted for ease of carry. This particular trumpet, however, is broken. When blown into, the trumpet makes an awful, grating honking sound which drowns out all nearby noise. Once per topic, you can blow into the trumpet to annoy anyone in the surrounding area. For their next post, anyone who heard the horn will be unable to cast novice-level spells. | Item |

The Beach Episode!
Every Summer, Queen Consort Alessia Solarian, wife to the king, hosts a huge summer party on the beaches of the Crescent Isles, and you have been invited! A massive party on the beach runs all day and all night, with hundreds of guests in attendance. Food, drink, music, and all kinds of light-hearted frivolities take place as the rich upper-class mix with heroes of the realm, enjoying the luxuries of summer. You, one of these notable or respected members of society, have been invited to join in on the celebration. So grab your swimming suit, get the grill, and join in on our beach episode of Charon!
Under the Crescent Island sub board will be a new location for this event. This is a social event taking place on the beaches of the Crescent Isles and is a casual setting for you to roleplay with others in the same place. A host thread will be created where the general story of the event will be played out, with a member of staff posting occasional updates to the story. You may post single-post replies to this thread as it is updated.
Additionally, you may create new, separate threads under this sub board, all taking place at the same party. This allows you to split off from the main narrative and enjoy other threads with other members. You can create as many threads as you wish under this sub board (don't overload yourself, please).
The host thread will tell the basic story of the party, with you telling your own stories surrounding the party. Once the host thread closes out, you may continue open existing threads but may not start new ones.
