• Summerfest is back! - 2 July 2026

  Hello, Ascended! It’s been an entire year, but now it is finally time, Summerfest is back! What is Summerfest? The origins of Summerfest are shrouded in mystery, but many scholars trace it back to ancient elven rituals involving burning sacrifices inside wicker figures.

These festivities help lighten the mood and provide a distraction from the near-constant threats against Telara. Activities aplenty! But aside from its intriguing history, Summerfest has plenty of activitie…
