MIDSUMMER FIRE FESTIVAL - AN EVENT NOT TO BE MISSED
Honourable readership!
Quintin is back home!
After months of travelling through the perilous realms of Northrend, and most recently a seat at High Lord Tirion’s side in the Collosseum’s ranks of honour, this humble reporter has seen all there is to see. Gigantic, mighty titans. Fantastic beasts he has also found. Heroes upon heroes. Suffering upon suffering. Death upon death. A new hope. And even the Lich King Quintin has caught sight of, when he or his illusion appeared in the Crusaders’ arena to taunt both Horde and Alliance. This is as close as Quintin needs to get to him, leaving the glory to the less and differently talented fighters.
This gnome has duties to perform.
Thus, as soon as he returned, he learned of a celebration at Stormwind that ought not to be missed if one could successfully avoid war in the north (of course, he means ‘save oneself’).
On the second day of the seventh month, Sunday, at the sixth hour of the evening,
Kaldorei invite you to the park to ceremonially celebrate the Solstice Festival. Supposedly, the teahouse operators from Darnassus are involved.
It is also rumoured that the Lilies of Stratholme are subsequently holding a bash at the harbour that is quite something! The town’s bakeries whisper that a large quantity of biscuits has been ordered, drinks roll through the streets by the cartload and a rep was seen studying maps of the harbour basin.
One fact is that the grandiose representative of my people, famous and infamous, Shorgoon, the Conqueror of Gloom, the Master of Boom, will light up the short night with a brilliant fireworks display. As usual, he offers some of his explosive wares for sale to the celebrating guests. Be on the lookout for him!
This reporter will, of course, be present, but will remain in the background so as not to hog the limelight while documenting the merry goings-on for posterity.
Yours, Quintin Quirkyquill
