The scrolls, all written identically, read thusly:[/b] [indent][i]Dragons of Sorneith - As is tradition, the last of the year’s festivals, Rockbreaker’s Ceremony, approaches. We, the Earth Flight, invite all flights to return to Dragonhome this holiday for a special feast in honor of the Earthshaker. This special feast will be supplied, in part, by the Earth Flight, but we are also encouraging all flights and clans to bring with them their favorite recipes! In thanks of your attendance and gift of food, we will in turn offer gifts and prizes to those clans that amaze us with their culinary skills. This is a contest of good will, for the ultimate goal is to cheer the spirits of the keeper of the Pillar himself. We have missed you, brothers and sisters. Please, come home and celebrate with us this Rockbreaker’s Ceremony, and grant the Earthshaker’s greatest wish. The Earth Flight[/i][/indent] [b]Though rumors soon buzz about the meanings between the words - is the Earthshaker depressed still? Is it just a scheme to weaken other flights? Who will make sure the food is safe for all? - they are often drowned by the excitement of the grand feast and, better yet, the prizes to the best chefs from across all flights. After all, what dragon doesn’t love to eat?[/b] [center][img]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f330/abx532/Rockbreakers-sig_zps84a90322.gif[/img][/center]

*throws confetti*

I can't wait to see what our guests will bring to the feast! Many thanks to @SullenEarth and everyone else who contributed to making this festive gathering possible ♥

I'm pretty excited to see the offerings from clans across Sorneith. The idea of comfort food (and holiday or festival food) is universal but also very culturally specific and unique; I look forward to seeing all the possible interpretations.

Wheee! I look forward to seeing what deliciousness appears here. Now, if only I could cook...

Out of everything we're doing for Rockbreakers, I think this is what I'm most excited for. I absolutely cannot wait to see what everybody comes up with! ♥
