Carnival

History of the Carnival of Masks

Carnival, or as is traditionally known, The Carnival of Masks, is an ancient festival with roots in the Vir Sidus Empire and the worship of the ancient God of Revels and the harvest which is the winter’s bounty. With the popularity of the festival production rates, of such things as wine and mead, rose in anticipation of the week long celebration of life. Year by year it grew in popularity, year by year the wealth of the Empire grew.

Despite the pagan roots the festival survived into the age of the One Faith as a time where rank held no meaning and commoner and noble alike could mingle behind masks without judgement. As attitudes changed, the festival fell out of favour, most believe this was because of the then High Priest Aldus the Prudent, a most devout man and later a saint. It was all but forgotten save by the al’Sylenthar who kept at least part of the tradition alive through their decadent Masques.

(Note: You must read the information below to attend. As this event is meant to be ‘Staff hands off’ vacation, we won’t be entertaining requests during the time of Carnival besides new player apps. Instead of working, we’ll be out there RPing with you! With that, all you can and need to know is written and tabbed below.)

The Carnival of Masks is an old and storied tradition, one that is looked forward to every year. Not a noble worth their salt would miss it, and is the premiere event with as much mystery and to-do as an unsolved crime.
