[EVENT|4TH WALL] THE NEWCOMERS’ ARRIVAL | APRIL 15-22
Characters: ALL and plus ones.
Date: April 15-22 2015 (2016 in-game)
Location: Farmlands outside the city walls, but this log can also be used for locations within the city.
Situation: Spring planting - fourth wall event, week one!
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.
The days for the festival dawn sunny if a bit chilly, but the air is clear and the soggy ground has dried enough that there isn’t too much mud in the lanes between fields and homesteads. The broad dirt path to the Woodsmen’s land leads past the tram-line construction, lined with waving ribbons on sticks along the sides. The Woodsmen’s territory circles the city, separated from the city’s walls by five hundred yards of neutral land.
The festival’s central area is Liangken’s Clearing, and this is where the festival will begin and end each day. Liangken is an ancient tree, among the oldest on the turtle’s back. Though it doesn’t flower or bear much in the way of leaves anymore, the kedan have cultivated it carefully and now it’s an excellent representation for the revitalisation of old wisdom.
The lanes between the fields and homesteads will house the stalls, contests and walking areas. The Woodsmen will be keeping an eye on these to prevent anyone from walking off the marked paths. The homesteads provide ‘hotspots’ in among the lanes and fields, with Woodsmen families lending their yards to the comfort and entertainment of their guests.
In general, the Woodsmen are a taciturn, soft-spoken lot who nevertheless take great pride in their work. Their lands are all but sacred -- they accept no attitude, no trespassing, no attempts to thwart their authority. This causes some noticeable tension with the Snakes, who are accustomed to being the sole enforcers within the city; but though there may be some ill tempers and raised voices, at no point will anyone come to blows. It’s hard to argue with someone built like a brick wall and carrying sharp farm implements.
The Woodsmen are a touch anxious about having strangers on their land and this shows in them being overly officious or bossy, but at the same time their pride shows clearly and they are eager to show off the state of their lands, their greenhouses, and their farming processes -- practically without being asked. The residents of Keeliai tend to think of the Woodsmen as ‘cowards’, and the Woodsmen are taking this opportunity to prove themselves otherwise with feats of strength and tall tales.
Due to the farmers’ hours of “early to bed and early to rise”, the festival ends in the early evening at sundown, but begins again before dawn -- usually by greeting the sun with a song.

While Heojin and his bodyguards are open to everyone (including fourth-wall characters!), they are not available for small talk and general directionless CR. For the integrity of the mod’s inbox, please only request a thread with him if you already have an idea of what you’d like your character to ask/do. Other NPCs can be requested by sending a PM to the appropriate journals directly, with the same guidelines.
The top-level comments are for the festival, but fourth-wall characters should feel free to use the rest of the post for anything within the city of Keeliai itself! Just remember to label the top-level comment for location and date.

She was smoothing her own ruffled frills and spines things that would look almost like a mane or hair.

Squinting a little closer, the creature actually looked... almost human. It didn't smell human, not in the least, and it was always possible the darkness was just playing tricks on Diego's eyesight. The cliffs cast long shadows that left the entire valley - the very narrow valley - looking like the back of a cave.
Diego glanced ahead once, then looked back up at the Raksura, relaxing ever so slightly further. "Don't suppose you know where we are?" he asked. The question rankled, but Diego wasn't in the habit of wandering around like a lost sloth for the better part of a night.

And the smell was wrong.
Jade shook her head. "A city. Full of shifters, but not Raksura." Or Fell. She'd smell if they were Fell. "I haven't flown high enough to get a sense of where. It's not the Reaches, though."
Which was worrying. She wasn't in the habit of getting kidnapped to strange locations. Adult queen Raksura were generally regarded as bad choices for kidnapping. And if she knew who would do it, there would be a fight.

He made to keep moving, then stopped again. "Have you seen a mammoth anywhere around here? They're big, they're slow. They have long tusks. He might have a sloth with him."

They actually looked a lot like the groundling forms of Raksura or Fell, but the basic body plan was common among groundlings where Jade was from.
