Miracles of the Mythlar Festival

## Celebration Origins

### Council is established, 22nd Day of Dogma

> *"We wish to mark this occasion, that of the city engine being restored, breath of life into Starfield Haven, **Mythalar Day**!*
> *A day the Leviathan Heroes pay for and setup an incredible display of games, food and excitement for the citizens. Full of magic, joy, a day for everyone to come together and remember the start of something new. A new chapter in all our lives. Citizens are also welcome to setup their own tables or tents if they wish to display their beautiful arts, crafts and sell the beauty they've created. Or even share their own talents for entertainment! Anything is welcome. We can help you with that if needed. All of this will take place in and around the immediate area of the town square." -Lumi*

## Inaugural Miracles of the Mythlar Festival

### 1st day of Dawndust sees a new Council appointed

The morning of the first Mythlar Day celebration is filled with anticipation as the sounds of artisans setting up their stands and the scents of the the food vendors wares fill the sleepy morning air. Bright decorations appear around the the area designated for the event and curious children gawk as the wonders of the city are gathered in one place...

Some of the oldest and youngest citizens are up crazy early to get their votes in before the lines start. Starfield Haven has implemented a rank choice vote for the nine council members. The nine people in the city with the highest vote count will become the permanent counselors for one calendar year.

### Kit's tribute to the arts

The four corners of the town square have been set aside for performers from among the local community. The northeast corner of the square has been set aside especially for magicians and illusionists, who delight young and old alike with displays of their magical prowess. The southwest corner is geared towards the city's children. Magicians, storytellers, puppeteers, clowns, jugglers, and even a family of acrobats perform here, spreading joy and delight to children and their parents. The northwest corner is, more than anywhere else, a tribute to the street performers of Starfield Haven. Here, audiences find an eclectic mix of singers, storytellers, and musicians. The unexpected highlight of the day seems to be *The Beards*, a Dwarven Folk band. For the teens and young adults of Starfield Haven, the true highlight is the pavilion in the southeast corner of the square, where some of the best local rock bands keep the party going well into the night. For years afterwards, fans will tell how the impromptu jam sessions here would spawn some of the greatest musical collaborations of Starfield Haven's *Golden Age of Rock*.

### Rodney's celebration of flight

As the crew goes about the festival themselves, they will find Rodney wondering around the lift off point for his zipline high wire act. He has a rather large cart full of muffins he is giving out to anyone who will accept one and he takes a leap off the tower every once in a while to enjoy flight himself.

Meanwhile after a few hours of kids and even adults using his magic plate to animate their flying creations the skies are filled with flocks of hundreds of paper flying objects, planes, spaceships, dragons and everything in between.

Kit starts to stop Rodney but ends up letting him go. Life is far too short and they've all earned the right to have some impulsive fun. Chuckling to herself, she wanders the festival and takes in the sights. As Kit goes throughout her day she checks on the things at Starfield's savory secrets, catching Jonas and Tori flirting over a dropped cupcake cleaning up the icing.

#### Mystra's magic muffin business is born

About midway through the day Rodney runs up finding as many crew members as he can with exciting "not news"

> "I have my muffin shop name finally! I can finally open it! I got to find me a baker in this festival! MYSTRAS MAGIC MUFFIN'S!" -Rodney, he runs off looking for a baker too excited to care he simply shouts into the crowd. "BAKER? ARE THERE ANY BAKERS AROUND? I WANT TO OPEN A MUFFIN SHOP AND I WANT TO HIRE YOU! I NEED A BAKER! ANYBODY KNOW A BAKER!?"
>

Two or three candidates flag him down over the next hour... Little panda has clearly had a few too many muffins. They begin to work together to draw up an illustration of their new co-venture. He decides he's going to build his shop right at the Pinnacle of the zip line lift off point and make it a permanent establishment. Hiring teenagers to run the zip lines.

> *Zaman stays back a bit throughout the celebration, keeping out of the limelight the rest of the crew was enjoying. “They earned it,” he tells himself as he watches, a soft smile gracing his lips.*

### Lumi's Winter Wonderland

Lumi has a stand of her own setup for part of the day, cold, frosty and icy treat. With her magic she insta freezes a collection of baked goods from ANION or gently, and literally, frosts the icing of cupcakes to give each bite a cool refreshing crunch in contrast to the soft moist batter of the treat.

During a break part of the day for her, Lumi is making the rounds to all the different booths and entertainers so on to make sure everyone is having an amazing day, bringing around refreshments to them and making sure their setups are running smoothly and no one is causing any trouble.

To help cap off the event she hosts a Winter Wonderland, a large tent which covers a large area of water she's frozen for people to skate on. A swirling gentle cold breeze continuously circles the area to keep everything cold, and she generates snow to fall ever so often with an illusion of a sky that is bright blue and sparkling clouds.

Another part of her winter wonderland are the hills of snow she's created for children and adults to slide down on sleds she helped construct the day before. It's an incredible sight to Haven's citizens, a beautiful bright day in the city and what would appear to be a completely different atmosphere created under Lumi's tent of Winter Wonderland.

### Iniram's Beer Gardens and Brock's wildlife sanctuary

Ram drinking and hanging out in the beer garden. Rook stands as a statue at the entrance covered in festive garland and discarded coats, unbeknownst to everyone, she's the deadliest coat rack in the sector. After too many drinks Ram starts an arm wrestling competition. He forgets however that most of his strength comes from Rook.

Brock sets up a small ring outlined by whatever pieces of wood he can scrounge up and then posts a sign with crudely painted animals. He then sits in the middle and begins to hum in a low tune, his voice deep and guttural. His hands stretched out and palms up, a swirl of cosmic purples and reds emit and dance around the ring. The various swirls coalesce into eight individual spheres which mold into the shape of eight different animals: a baby deer, a winter fox, two winter rabbits, a sugar glider, two polar bear cubs, and a penguin.

"FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS, THE FESTIVAL PETTING ZOO IS OPEN FOR ALL CHILDREN AND ADULT CHILDREN TO ENJOY! PLEASE BE KIND AND GENTLE TO THE FRIENDLY CREATURES!" -Brock

### A new era officially begins

The festival winds down having been hugely successful the entire city clearly needed an excuse to let off some steam and the heroes special activities brought a new air to the city. Dozens of citizens having seen the whole city from the sky have picked out new habitations and the cluster around the city center starts migrating outward over time as community and safety sets in. The artisans who had previously been left for dead feel a newfound sense of community with the people left behind. Their activities throughout the day were well attended and well cheered for. Where there was but a refugee camp a month ago there is now a thriving city and growing community. The elections having gone smoothly resulted in only two changes among the citizenry seats. The citizens of Starfield Haven clearly putting great weight behind the choices the sentinels had made with all except their own who they knew better.
