For the past week or so, it may feel like to some that the Bastion is gearing up for something. And not anything bad, either. Something good and oh so needed. It's not just the people, the Caels and the Ura that are aware of what the coming days would mean if the world was still intact. It's like the very Bastion itself has suddenly gained new life, and there's a power over it that's greater than any person, creature or Core.

Anyone who is still awake as dawn breaks over the Bastion may find themselves inexplicably tired for no reason at all, and unable to give in to an intense need to close their eyes, just for a moment.

When everyone wakes, and I do mean everyone, the Bastion will be transformed. Decorations, lights strung across every angle, wreaths, tables with colorful cloths over them, streamers and banners and so much stuff just seemingly out of nowhere! The entire Bastion, suddenly a vibrant, beautiful place for a celebration. And not just any celebration.

The Harvest Festival!

[Welp, he'll do that then, and go and grab another big hunk of meat.]

[Paarthurnax basically swallows it whole, bone and all, and waits as Ryu gets another.]

Have you been enjoying this celebration?

[amnesiadragon]

Yeah! It looks like a lot of fun. Do people usually make big festivals like this?

[He has no idea. There's lots of different cultures he's seen too. Maybe they're all different festivals. A whole year of festivals!]

[wayofvoice]

Some do. There are many reasons to celebrate, whether for matters mundane or those to thank the Gods. [Paarthurnax gives a thoughtful rumble.] Some are both. From what I have heard, this time would normally be a festival to celebrate bringing in the Harvest, and pay tribute to the Gods of this place.

[amnesiadragon]

... Huh. I don't really know that much about the gods here. Only what I was told at the shrine. I should find out.

[wayofvoice]

I imagine many would tell you, if you were to ask. This place is their home, is it not?
