Amidst the snow and cold, there is a warm safe haven for all that should need it. And on the day of renewal, the god of Light and Perseverance stands at the entrance of Hikari no Michi: Light’s Path. Similar to the blessing done at the beginning of each moon cycle, Naota readies himself to bless this sacred space. Today is different though, and there are none permitted to access the surrounding grounds of Suisho no Kyuden.

In the past weeks, a cleansing has begun, starting in the blizzard-torn tundra that surrounds his home and extending out into the far reaches of Revaliir. Closing his eyes, the white markings that line his body glow with a blinding radiance as his hands move in the air: guiding his power to direct into the world.

Veins of light begin to crack and weave through cities, cemeteries, but always leaving residences untouched: all of them starting from the black tourmaline lined pools of light that lead to Suisho no Kyuden. Unlike The Northern Light’s usual magick, this power does not harm those of evil intent or an undead nature. This is a blessing and gift to the world, a blanket of light to heal all areas that still remain tarnished from the quarrel between goddesses.

With these expanding rivers of light come slow sproutings of beautiful eggs comprised of precious gems and stones: a glimmering rainbow across Revaliir. Should one be lucky enough to come across them cradled in grass, under rubbish bins, or even sprinkling the sandy beaches, they will find themselves in great fortune. These treasures will not last forever though, and at the end of the cleansing, there will be no new ones.

While they are stunning enough on their own, they also act as protectors of homes and loved ones. Young children and those in weak health are encouraged to seek out these eggs and keep them on their person. Whether found or left untouched there is always a soft glow that emanates from within: some of the deity’s power forever contained to provide protection or perhaps just a simple light to ease someone lost in darkness.

Talks have begun about eggs made of gold, more rare than any other that has popped up from the ground. Pay close attention to the whispers through taverns and ranger’s paths and you might just find one of these yourself…unless they truly are only rumor.

As the days continue on, the veins of light will glow brighter until the end of the cleansing, lasting for half of a moon’s cycle. No danger will come to those that come towards any of these channels, and those in great danger will find great protection should they plead sanctuary as these rays of light are direct branches from the god of Light and Perseverance’s temple.

During this time of healing and renewal, all are encouraged to take advantage of the carved paths of light. Should anyone be brave enough they will find that walking along the thin cracks will help them find a clearer head as well as refresh the senses. Take heed not to grow addicted, because there is truth in too much of a good thing and these paths of light are temporary…

A few things will be taking place during this two-week event. Let’s start with the synth!


Event Synth: Monochrome Egg and Rainbow Egg

Event Prizes:


Sun’s Kiss: 3 monochrome eggs, 3 rainbow eggs - A lightweight silver shield accented in black tourmaline. Will absorb any magickal attack when used and reflect out a short burst of near blinding light magick to give the shielder time to prepare their own returning attack.


Guiding Light: 3 rainbow eggs, 2 monochrome eggs - A palm-sized pyramid crystal comprised of Ametrine. When lost, a thin beam of light will shine from the crystal’s point to lead the user home or some other favored safe destination.


Renaissance: 3 monochrome eggs, 2 rainbow eggs - When worn, this Aventurine pendant will strengthen the will and focus of its wearer tenfold. Due to its effects, it’s suggested to only wear it in times of great need for no more than one hour at a time. While strength of will and focus are enhanced, the physical limits of the body are unchanged.

As usual, these will be able to be made in the synth shop found HERE.

Easter Egg Hunt:

There is going to be an Easter Egg Hunt. This will be going on for the entirety of the event. The goal is to find the ‘Golden Egg’. It’s located in one spot on the RP forums and there will be hints given throughout the event HERE. Be sure to check in! You will be required to post in the area to receive the egg and it is at a random drop rate. There is a limit to one golden egg per account, have fun!

Writing Contest:
In addition to the Easter Egg Hunt, there is also going to be a writing contest! Submissions are opened throughout the whole event and should be read about HERE. The theme of this writing contest is Renewal. Take this however you like, new interpretations are awesome as are twists and turns! There is a 1,000 word limit but don’t stress yourself if you go a few over (just be sure not to abuse this). The prizes are below:

1st place: 1,000 silver and your piece put up on Revaliir’s Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and DeviantArt
2nd place: 500 silver
3rd place: 250 silver

This does not have to be set in Revaliir and does not have to include your character. I want your full imagination for this and to see what you can do! Just remember to keep in line with the rules and not to go over an ‘R’ rating. If your entry will be rated ‘R’ please mark it at the beginning in parentheses (( )).

Have fun! :D
