Spring is in the air and we gather to celebrate all that lives and breathes. Byltan is a celebration of love, life and fertility and during this night we pay special homage to love in all its forms, be it between lovers, family or friends. Byltan is also a time where we honour the Soul of the Forest, Aessina, and the awakening of the wilds.

Opening Ceremony
The festival will open with a short speech to welcome all attendees and to give a brief rundown of the night’s events.
Spring Market
We invite traders from near and far to set up their stalls at Byltan and peddle their wares. Byltan is a celebration of relationships, and as such we would like to honour the relationship between trader and customer during this festive market. Bring your best wares and prepare to trade!
Kinship Bracers
The kaldorei have a tradition of sharing kinship bracers with their friends and loved ones. These bracers are given as a sign of friendship, devotion, love or courtship. Perhaps you want to gift one to that special someone because you want to prove your love and devotion, offer a kinship in blood, have a special connection or even just want to treasure a very special friendship? Regardless of the thought behind it, these bracers will symbolize the bond that has been forged between the individuals. During the festival a workshop will be held for those who wish to learn how to make kinship bracers. The effort put in and the thought behind the gift is what gives it its true value.
Theatrical Play
Festival-goers at Byltan have come to expect the festival to feature a play of some sort and this year is no different. This year’s play will be the story of the White Lady and the Blue Child. The story may be familiar to many already, but we hope that this retelling will show the loving relationship between mother and child and bring joy to those who watch it.
Open Dance Floor
Making merry is the command during Byltan, and what could be more merry than dancing? The festival will host an open dancefloor where everyone can show off their moves and dance all night long! Do you play an instrument? Excellent! We invite you to join in the band and provide a passionate musical experience for the festival attendees and dancers alike!
Closing Ritual
We will close this year’s festival by performing a ritual dedicated to Aessina, the Mother of Wisps and the Soul of the Forest.

-
Byltan is a kaldorei themed celebration of spring, but it is open to any member of the Alliance who’d like to participate.
-
Spring themed clothing is not mandatory, but it is encouraged. Soft pastels and greens are perfect for this holiday.
-
We kindly ask all attendees to refrain from using dark magics, such as fel and void, during this festival, as we feel it goes against the theme of life.
-
We also ask you to, please, keep in mind that this is supposed to be a festive occasion and refrain from disrupting it with attempted robberies, summoning of demons, invasions of orcs or similar things. Such things have their time and place, and can be great fun, but we feel that they do not belong during this joyous celebration of life.
