Esperian Idols

With the first flurries of Autumn, so too comes the most beloved festival of the Esperian people - the Lunar Cleansing.
For the Esperians, the festival signifies a time to take a break from the usual hustle and bustle of life, a day of wondrous peace and rest. Everyone puts aside whatever task they have at hand, don white clothes and bright accessories after taking a refreshing bath, and head out with friends to enjoy themselves. Tradition dictates that copious volumes of wine brewed from the rich fruits of Autumn be drunk, and the ancient Lunar gods be prayed to in the pure white moonlight.
In previous years, the Noble Tavern has run many festival specific events such as wine tasting sessions and special discounts, all to draw in the tourists. However, this year is going to be different. The Noble Tavern has something entirely unprecedented planned...
"Esperia's First Ever Esperian Idols Popularity Contest!"
There's never been anything quite like it. With the festival approaching, however, everyone taking it easy will be heading to the Tavern.
During the Lunar Cleansing festival, The tavern is full of merrymakers all night long. There is no shortage of conversation between the eating and drinking, and topics such as "who's the best swordsman?" and "whose arrows hit their marks the most?" become heated debates that can escalate quickly into bawls.
With great enthusiasm and the help of a number of good folks, the Noble Tavern manageress, Dolly, was persuaded by Rowan's suggestion to establish Esperia's first ever "Esperian Idol" contest!
Winner of the "Esperian Idol" title will be awarded a Noble Crown, wine brewed with Lunar Cleansing festival spring water, and the Noble Tavern's special dessert.
To drum up business, the contest has all kinds of gimmicks and ploys, but neither Dolly nor Rowan anticipated the raw enthusiasm of the contestants. The number of registered contestants is rising and the auditions are already a bloodbath.
The contest was a roaring success of the likes of which had never been seen. Citizens everywhere lauded it as their favorite part of the Lunar Cleansing festival, The Noble Tavern became a household name, and Dolly and Rowan made a tidy sum of gold.
