Gale Staff Breezy Cerdae Wind Sword Ancient Gene Parchment: Mistral
Scene: Wind Lair Scene: Windsinger's Domain


The wind lair scene depicts an interior that is a bamboo and balloon floating structure connected to others via rope bridges. Scrolls, maps, kites, drums, and equipment litter the interior, while in the distance the wind kicks up the clouds over the landscape far below.

We are changing the festival start dates so that the elemental holidays will start on the last Monday of each month that has at least 3 days following it.

This year's festival cycle will have:
  • One new festival apparel piece that will cycle into Spare Inventory Crate after the festival ends.
  • One new festival familiar that will cycle into Spare Inventory Crate after the festival ends.
  • A new elemental lair scene that will return to Festive Favors each year.
  • The continued availability of the domain scenes in Festive Favors.
  • The continued availability of the elemental swords in Festive Favors.
  • The continued availability of the festival Ancient gene parchments in Festive Favors.
    • These festival genes will expand to two additional Ancient breeds each year.

    The Mistral gene has expanded to Thorntail and Veilspun dragons, and copies of these genes and previous Mistral genes are available through Glass and Gloss in exchange for the Ancient Gene Parchment. (Cirrus will definitely be getting this gene next year! This year they were a bit elusive!)

It's a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn't bad enough, it's also a bloody great hot flying thing.
