21st Dec.: Zhuhai Winter Solistice Festivities

                                    Citizens of Elgea,

                              wandering people, chandlers, craftsmen and traders ...

As the nights get darker and winter is just around the corner, the people of Wen Kun Dynasty invite to their annual mid winter solstice celebrations, which are famous among all the Eastern Elgean regions, including across borders.

Every year thousands of people from all over the world visit Zhuhai for this event to escape from the dreariness of winter, for three days full of celestial music, dance and entrancing bard's tales. But not only your ears get fed.

For this festivity the Royal city of Zhuhai is  decorated with brightly coloured carpets of flowers, which indulge the visitors senses. All the squares are illuminated with magic lights and stunning trick fountains line the streets... coal - fired tents invite to take a rest and to forget all daily hassles, winter's cold and ongoing wars.

Furthermore the vistors get served with the finest dishes from all over Elgea, local specialities and the most palatable barrel - aged wines, riped in the fertile plains of Laoshin.

Already several weeks before this festival begins, traders and chandlers from all over Elgea arrive with their caravans and bring exotic goods from the four cardinal directions to sell them on the huge Bazaar in front of the Royal Palace during these days.

As Zhuhai is well known for making profits and finding bargains, traders especially don't want to miss this event to expose their racy horses, their handcrafted weapons and finest armours from all over Elgea for. No rare herb or gem, no alchimistical or magical ingredient, which can't be found these days on the sprawling markets of Zhuhai.

Therefore people of Elgea, especially you traders, gatherers and craftsmen, fire your forge ovens, sharpen your woodcarving knives,collect the last rare herbs before the long winter comes, and be prepared to join the Zhuhai Winter Solistice Festivities at the 21st of December. Send your caravans in good time, as you don't want to miss this event....

See you soon at Zhuhai  faction hub...
