Spring Festival
Elune be with you. As spring flowers turn a brilliant hue, join us for a seasonal festival to rekindle our bonds in Feathermoon on the second night of the fifth month. There’ll be activities as lively as the changing season such as Moonball and many prizes to be won, generously donated by our craftspeople.
To celebrate the grace and beauty of nature we would like our attendees to wear an outfit inspired by a flower or other plant of their choice and arrive with a feeling of kinship with the children of the stars.
The kaldorei will prevail,

Welcomes
Priestess Hidani welcomes the attendees with someone individuals might recognize from past festivals held in Kalimdor.
Moonball
organised by Hidani
Moonball is a Night Elven sport in which players hurl moonglow coated balls at their opponent, staying within a marked area. Player number limit: 24
The Moonglow coat shimmers brightly and fleetingly dazzles the opponent when hit. When a player gets hit three times they fall out of the game and the other person continues to the next round. Depending on the amount of participants, the first rounds of the competition might include more than two people in the ring at once. In this case the last person standing moves on to the next round.
OOC: This game uses the Dazzling Rod toy as the gameplay mechanic. Please make sure to get it before the event if you would like to join! We ask participants to refrain from using speed enhancing skills, items and spells.

Play
organised by Tinwëtar
Spring is the time of growth and new life, and thus also the season of love and fertility. During the festival we celebrate all kinds of love, that between friends, family members or mates and we delight in the stories of love that they are a part of. The kaldorei have many stories about star-crossed lovers, but the most famous one, and perhaps the most beloved, is the story about how Malorne, the White Stag, earned the love of the Goddess, the White Lady; Elune.
Spring Festival Finery
The attendees are asked to arrive in an outfit inspired by a flower or other plant of their choice to celebrate the grace and beauty of nature!
Costume Contest
organised by Tinwëtar
People will also be invited to participate in a showing of their outfit on stage. Based on how well the outfit is deemed to resemble the wearer’s chosen plant, two winners will be awarded with a delightful gift to bring home.

Gesture of Kinship
Giving someone an heirloom item, something that has been passed down for generations through family members, symbolizes a sacred bond of kinship, affection and trust. As a festival that encourages such feelings, some might find it an approriate time to offer an heirloom item to a close friend or trusted comrade as a token of heartfelt and profound appreciation. The heirloom might bear the emblem of the giver’s family and shouldn’t be handed away lightly. Attendees may offer the heirloom to someone whenever they find a suitable moment for it during the festival.

The event is meant to cater primarily a Night Elf and Worgen audience but other Alliance races are also welcome to attend, though Void Elves, Demon Hunters and Death Knights in attendance might be treated in an unwelcome manner by the hostess In Character.
Please keep in mind the festive theme intended for the event and refrain from interrupting it in ways that might divert the event off its planned course to respect the efforts of players who have invested much time into organising it. Thank you!
