Winter's End Festival

The Dusk Court


-- -- --

 It begins at dusk.

There is no part of Terrastella this Festival does not touch. Winter reaches out to all. This season, and its year are fading. A new year and a new season are coming. This is a time to celebrate the dying year and to look to the new. Roam, take yourself to each of Terrastella’s lands and see which one suits you more. Do you care to visit them all? Or is there just one place that draws you in; a moth to a flame.

 The Dusk Court itself is the heart of Terrastella. It is a place of grounding. Come all who wish to ground and bind themselves – to their god, to their lover, to their Court. Careful though, if you wish to bind yourself here, there are some who hold to the old belief that this goes beyond a nice gesture. This, to them, is a vow for the new year.

Still wish to make your vow? Then paint your skin with the symbolic ink of your court and you vow yourself to that court for a year. With your lover, paint your skin with the symbolic ink of love and you vow yourself to stand by each other for the year. Pain your skin with the symbolic ink of your god, and you will vow yourself to them. Break any of these vows and the consequences are dire; or so they say…

There are pots of different coloured ink. All inks are made with natural plant colourants and the tattoos painted on. They will stain the hair and last few a few weeks beyond the festival and are by no means permanent.


-The festival concludes on the 31st of January as the old Novus year ends and the new Novus year begins with spring on the 1st of February. -
