In celebration of Canada Day, the Fourth of July, and the general wonderfulness of summer, the holiday staff have arranged for various fun hot-weather activities.
Join the celebration by taking part in the holiday token quest. It has started as of 9:30 Sunday night, July 2nd, and will end at midnight Tuesday night, July 4th. The corpses of the mobs you kill will contain tokens of various colors. Different-colored tokens are worth different amounts of points. The five players who earn the most token points will receive prizes and medals.
The prize for the top three token collectors will be the couleurs de la reine. Fourth and fifth place will receive prizes of monetary value. All top-five finishers will get medals.
The festival tournament grounds have been set up two rooms east of recall, then north, in the City of Medievia. Don't forget that you can joust here! Read HELP JOUST for more details. You need to find 10 points' worth of holiday tokens in order to pay for each joust. Challenge your friends. Challenge the gods! No one has an advantage in jousting based on their level or eq outside the arena. There are no prizes for jousting, but it's super fun.
The Summer Festival Picnic Grounds holosection and the Traveling Minstrel holosection have already been placed in the wilderness, and will remain out there until midnight Tuesday night, July 4th. Finding the Minstrel or the Elm Dryad will get you prizes and medals.
As always, the card shop in the marketplace in the City of Medievia has Fourth of July and Canada Day cards for sale.
As if all this weren't enough, the fountains in the cities and towns across the land are already filled with cool, delicious lemonade in true summer spirit. Enjoy!
