A belch catches your attention and you turn to see the Tidelord himself stretched out on the beach, swirling his drink with a claw, as he watches a series of bubbles drift to the heavens.

The sharp scent of the sea fills your nostrils yet again as you look around at all of the sights that surround you. To your left is the Tidelord, who you just looked away from. You're almost afraid to meet his gaze, so you look to the right where you see a group of guardians having a spirited volleyball match with a very large volleyball. Down the beach a-ways a few tents are erected, but nothing inside them seems to move. In the other direction, some dragons are laying out on a variety of brightly patterned beach towels, snoozing or reading in the sun. You wonder at the lack of festival activity. Where are all the banners and decorations? You traveled many miles to the Sea of a Thousand Currents for the Wavecrest Saturnalia, but there's barely a sign of it. You look perplexedly at the guardian volleyball match then steal another glance at the Tidelord, but true to form, the Water Flight does not reveal its secrets so easily. You sigh, and stare out at the sea. [center][i]Wait, what's that?[/i][/center] Could it be? You peer out farther into the usually clear water currently obscured by the ripples and waves brought about by the strong breeze. You inch closer to the water, and wade in a few feet. You step about the tidal pools, moving closer and closer.

Turning around, you notice that they have a bunch of snorkeling equipment, and they appear quite willing to share. You gather that they're here for the express purpose of helping visitors reach the submerged boardwalk, so with their help you pop on a tank of air and dive down. As you near the boardwalk, you can see that this is the spot with all of the Wavecrest Saturnalia decorations. They must have spent months building this boardwalk and all of the shops! You swim by and take a closer look.

Your eyes don't deceive you;
There's an entire boardwalk under the water, shops and all.

This must be Water Flight's dominance raffle. They've managed to scrounge up quite the bounty from the Sea. A series of sprites plunge into the water above you and gesture frantically and excitedly at you. They must have come from from the raffle's tiki bar, as they're brandishing armfuls of rare gems, treasure, and drink-sized beach umbrellas at you. Between unintelligible squeaks and yelps, you somehow get the idea that dominance has been achieved, and all that they carry can be yours if you only participate in their games and activities. Sprites are a funny bunch, but everything does look quite enjoyable!

The sign on his shop says Shady Joe. It appears that he has a hefty treasure trove of items that he's giving away. At first you think of how nice he must be to just give stuff away for free, but something in his smile tells you he might not be so nice after all. This instinct is confirmed when you watch him sneakily snatch a Silver Pocketwatch off of another shop owner.

The sign says Flotsam Fortunes, and points back up to the beach. It appears to offer a variety of readings for souls brave enough to learn their fate.

You recall seeing various dragons lay spread out on beach blankets. The sign reads: "Welcome to the Haiku Contest. Sit a spell and try your mind at creating a short poem for judging."

The doors to the shop are shut and all of the windows are frosted, but there is a bell you can ring. You look to the sign for more information, but all it says is "A story driven event.

Although now that you think about it, you have seen a lot of people munching on sweet treats while you've been walking around... For a little bakery stall, it seems pretty popular. Maybe there's more to it than meets the eye? Might as well go visit and try some!
