Gala's Light Festival - Londo

Gala's Light Festival

"As the golden sun dipped below the Londo skyline, the village prepared to transform into a vibrant tapestry of celebration. In the wake of the triumphant expulsion of malevolent forces from the continent, Londo's streets pulsed with the energy of joyous citizens and revelers from neighboring villages. However, amid the oncoming festivities, a poignant undercurrent acknowledged the sacrifices made in the struggle against darkness.

The heart of the festival is rumoured to hold a solemn ceremony, where hundreds of sky lanterns, each bearing prayers and gratitude, ascended into the night sky. Their gentle glow symbolized the spirits of those lost during the tumultuous years, a collective tribute soaring towards Gala's celestial tapestry. The lanterns, like celestial emissaries, aimed to guide departed souls back to their patron stars.

Against a backdrop of vibrant decorations and the tantalizing aromas of festival fare, Londo united in remembrance and hope. The festival, said to be a harmonious blend of joy and solemnity, wove a poignant narrative of resilience and the enduring light of Gala's benevolent presence. In this shared exuberance and tender moments, the people celebrated not just their victory but the eternal dance of spirits now enshrined among the stars within Gala's celestial design."

TWO competitions are said to be held, yet when asked what they are the only two clues given are;

"Prepare your stomachs."

And

"Freeze."

"Well well well, the time has come. I bet you've all been excited for this!

You may have heard that there'll be two competitions, held, but that's so far from the truth... in fact, there'll be THREE held! Yup uh-huh I know you're amazed by that, you don't have to tell me, I already know.

The three competitions will have a small entry fee of 500c!

One will be an ice cream eating competition, and the second will be a nice, good ol' fashioned game of red light green light. The last will be a chaotic three on three battle between your group and others! It's a pretty brief, yet simple explanation, am I right? Yeah, I know I am, you don't have to tell me twice!"
