River Expedition

The River Expedition was the April Camp NaNoWriMo event, which ran from April 1st-May 4th, 2020.

Eyes have seen acts of war, of hurt, of pain, of despair… and yet, like Gaiai, there are small islands of friendship, kindness, love, and hope—islands that are much larger than they seem. These have blossomed from both landwalker and Raina alike, and those are what need to be cultivated. This festival, while a single being’s idea, has been created thanks to the help of many. A contribution, if wished to be seen as such, to a future without war. May there be peace between the peoples, and for now, may there games!

Most of the creatures specific to the event dropped Raina Festival Tokens, which could be redeemed at the Raina Festival Token Store for wardrobe items and reactions.

## Tactics

* ***As always, tactics sections may include spoilers and speculation. Proceed with all due caution***.

The wordcount quests, New Family of Friends (in Raina Surface Camp (Expedition Version)) and 10 to 10K (Swamplands), are good ones to pick up ASAP and finish while working on other things, but you could also pick them up at the end of the event to carry forward and finish afterward if questbook slots are tight.

The one-of-each quests, Meet The Raina (Raina Surface Camp (Expedition Version)) and Wading Through & Ownards (Swamplands) are also good ones to carry in the background and finish most of while working on other things.

Wardrobe completionists *must* pick up 10 to 10K and gather x10 swamp moss before the end of the event, since its reward is a legacy item.
