THE SNOW BALL [IC EVENT INFO] - Printable Version

THE SNOW BALL

In the sprawling sandstone buildings of the Day Court, what was once simply a barricade against the snowstorm has become a full-fledged party.

Lanterns flood the white-blanketed streets with golden light, and from the outside, the Day Court may seem utterly serene. But the citadel, library, and even the shops of the main streets have exploded into a kind of festival, resplendent with strings of glittering lights, frost miring the colored-glass windows, and music booming through every building. Though no specific games or activities have been set up, people are finding plenty to do between flirting, dancing, telling stories and starting brawls. Food is easy to find, and alcohol even easier: hardly a single sober courtier is to be found in all of Solterra, and the festival is set to only get wilder as time goes on.

Though doors are blockaded and windows shut to keep out the blizzard, the mood inside is sociable, even carnival: uproarious laughter, singing, and even the deafening, intensive placing of bets can be heard all over town. Cabin fever has made the Day Court louder and more reckless than ever.

Just as Solterrans somehow learned to thrive in the harsh, arid climate of the desert, they can find a way to make even the worst situations a party.

Welcome to the Day Court’s first all-night celebration, set in place to keep everyone’s spirits up even as the storm traps them inside! (Don’t tell Seraphina how wild it’s gotten…) In the citadel, library, and in many of the shops on Solterra’s biggest street, huge groups of people crush into the buildings to drink, mingle, and ward off any fear about the snow outside, with bands and betting pools set up in various locations. IC, will take place as long as there’s enough snow to keep people inside, at least two days and nights but possibly more - feel free to spread out your character’s attendance as long as you see fit.
