Londo's Harvest Festival 2041AC

[NeverNights]

Its that time of year as the final crops of the season roll in and the farmers are hard at work reaping the bounty from their fields. It takes more than one hand to feed an entire city.. every child and adult knows this. The hard work of Magi, non-magi and creature alike toil and till the earth to supply the needs of the citizenry. The spirits bless the lands to keep the earth fertile for the next rotation of crops, the herbalists and horticulturists gather the last remaining mushrooms and reagents before the forests are covered in a white blanket of snow. 

"I welcome all of those who value nature and its bounty- barring Fel and their friends of course to come participate in the festivities. It shall be a day of appreciation to those that work hard to provide the food we eat, a tribute to the spirits and the elementals that bless us with the rains and conditions we need for life and a celebration of another great harvest year. With the loss of many loved ones still fresh on our minds, why not have a brief moment of respite to remember the smaller things?" - Queen Fulumi Thorruhn

Bring the largest pumpkin to win a whopping 1k coin prize~

The festivities are well received by those in attendance as the pumpkin themed festival draws itself to a close. With prayers offered to Allies, friends, spirits and elementals alike. The climax of the festival reaches its peak with the pumpkin contest!

There were many attendees this year but sadly there can only be so many winners.

"I'd like to thank Christohore Garijin, Ksceniya C. Montelione, Raina, Gardenia Viridi- and the name of a fae I was not able to get sadly before the event closed! Their passion for the harvest was shown in front of all of Meranthe today with their competitive spirit and botanical knowledge!

Our grand prize winner Ksceniya of Gloom received the one grand reward and a beautiful ribbon! It was endearing to hear that the growth of the large pumpkin wasn't a solo effort~

Also~ the consolation prize for cutest pumpkin went out to Gardenia Viridi! for her palm sized pumpkin! Im sure many wives and husbands will love to have those adorable little pumpkins to decorate their homes if they don't have the space outside to show off their support for the harvest~

For everyone else- and the other attendees! Better luck next festival! I look forward to seeing just how large or how small the gourds of autumn can get~" - Queen Fulumi Thorruhn

Many pumpkin themed dishes were handed out to those who attended the event. The two most popular being Fulumi's Harvest Pie and Pumpkin spiced rum! Not like there was much choice! The Farmers and citizens of Londo thank all those who attended the event and hope to continue hosting it in the future with the rest of Meranthe. 

"May we remain great friends, even if we don't see eye to eye on every thing. A united Meranthe is a strong Meranthe~" - Fulumi
