Flight Rising Discussion

[center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/Snowraven/Welcome_zpsyedfdjca.png[/img] [size=3][b]As you cross into the heat scorched lands of the Flamecaller, you look around at the fiery lands in awe, with a touch of healthy fear. This is an inhospitable land, by all appearances but you have heard tales of Fire's warmth and legendary hot chocolate. Does that balance out the shrivelled plant life, and molten rock? You don't know yet, but it is here that you now find yourself, as if by some cruel irony, for a festival of celebration. As you continue your journey into these foreign lands, your path is lined with torches, to aid the weary traveller, and a little ways into the distance you can see the festival stands. Bright banners and gorgeous carved statues, decorated in all shades of oranges and yellows and reds. The air is alive with a myriad of pleasant smells above the smoky air: scorched metal, incenses, and great feasts of roasted meats. The ringing sounds of pounding steel assaults your ears from seemingly every direction, a wonderful chorus of hammers hitting steel, swords clashing, and armour crashing against armour as battles are acted out in seemingly every corner. [color=orange][i]"A very warm welcome to our [/i][/color][/size] [size=4][b][color=orange]Flameforger's Festival Tournament Hub..."[/color][/b][/size] [size=3][b]The greeting was bright and warm and as you turn you come face to face with a Fire Sprite toting a large sword. [color=orange][i]"I am the Liege of the Lavapools, the Sprite of the Molten Scar and your host for the duration of our festival. My name is Pyralis, and I would like to welcome you to the Ashfall Wastes."[/i][/color] The Sprite takes a breath and begins guiding you towards the festivities. [color=orange][i]"This year we are celebrating the glory of battle, with dragons all over the Wastes enacting scenes of valour and courage through Tournaments and Competitions of all types. Step through into the world of Fantasy where beings called[/i] 'Hoomins' [i]performed great Olympian feats, and beings of iron and steel battled for the highest honours, or a Dragoness' approval!"[/i][/color] The sprite continues the introduction to the Flameforger's Festival, directing you to the signs above each of the tented events, before offering the Blessings of the @Flamecaller upon you, and heading back to the meeting point to pick up the next traveller on the road. The displays are as inspiring as they are exciting and now, left alone in this strange land, your heart swells with a fiery fortitude at the prospect of testing your own skills against hardened warriors and novices of the Blacksand Annex… after you try your hand at some of the games, of course.

Organized and run by @Tobias, Torch Pass is a wandering dragon game where over the course of 10 days the young coatl, Torch, will be passed to one Flight per day. That Flight's goal is to pass Torch to as many members within their Flight as possible. The Flight who has the most number of passes at the end of the event wins!

Champions travel from all over Sornieth to prove themselves worthy to wield the coveted Flameforged weapons crafted by the finest Fire blacksmiths. But it's not just the scorching heat of the Great Furnace you'll have to endure to prove your worth, but the ardent flames of battle as well. In this tournament of champions, you'll contend with representatives from all Flights in a melee battle to the death. Sampling the finest weapons forged straight from the Great Furnace, work your way up round after round by defeating the opponents stacked against you. Prevail, and you walk away with the glory and armour and weapons worthy of a knight; lose, and you'll be reduced to ashes. Choose a warrior to fight for you, choose a weapon to serve you, and choose a deity to pray to, because trust me: you'll need it.

This is a land where only those with fire in their hearts and veins would choose to call “home”, as it is the bane of timid and untempered souls. Is it really surprising that some dragons find these lands so totally inhospitable that they are forced to leave their fireborn children and retreat from this place we call home. Hearts Embers Adoption Thread cares for some of these abandoned dragons, and is offering you a chance to take one home. If you can prove yourself worthy, that is.

Wood, cookies, even the sky. In celebration of her love of all things hot, the Ashfall wastes will be hosting a 24/7 Firework Display for the full 7 days of our holiday!

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Di1u9jd.png[/img][/center] [center]Just like to say an amazing thank you to the following people. Some of the are artists, some are writers. Some had to pull out at the last minute and some have been there from the word go. Some of them have helped bounce idea's around and some of them have fixed things that were broken or stepped up when things got hectic. Over all, every single person on this list, and probably loads more that I've missed has worked to make this Flameforger's absolutely amazing. Thank you, all of you.
