Light the Fires of Beltane

[Anya de la Rose]

The residents of RhyDin are called upon to help prepare for Beltane! Fliers have been posted throughout the city asking for willing hands to help in gathering wood for fires and flowers for garlands. As always, take only what you need. And if you run into any of the fair folk, don't make deals!

3/20 - 3/26



For the first week of spring, birch and rowan can be found in The Wilds. Watch out for the fairie circles, they're awake.

3/27 - 4/2



Ash and alder have been washing up on Seaside Beach! Drop by and brave the chilly waves to collect some.

4/3 - 4/9



Willow and hawthorn boughs can be retrieved from The Solarium. Don't let the gardeners catch you!

4/10 - 4/16



Oak and holly trees are ready to make their offerings in Battlefield Park. The veil is thin, so beware of ghosts. (( We suggest using #the-wilds or #streets-of-rhydin to play this week.))

4/17 - 4/18



Back to the Wilds now to collect hazel wood and the last daffodils of the season. The flowers will start the garlands for Beltane night.

4/24 - 4/30



Crocuses and snowdrops are in full bloom in The Solarium. Help finish the living garlands by collecting some!

Part 1
Part 2

[Hyejin Ri]

Hye-jin borrowed one of her fellow guard's car for another trip across the city to the shores of Kaiju Lake. The reason for the special outing was to visit a firewood seller in the wilds on the far shore, holding an advertisement in hand good for a discount and a special bonus gift of a clear plastic umbrella with the purchase of two bundles. She sorted through the available varieties until she found a bundle of birch and a bundle of rowan, producing cash to purchase both.

Before going to turn in the haul she stopped in a clearing in the woods and turned on her phone to film a video to post to her rhystagram, showing off the umbrella and remarking that it was the perfect prize, well worth being thrown into a frozen canal over. She danced around the clearing gleefully, laughing raucously and calling out several cross-Dockside rivals of Kabuki Street by name in an escalation of some obscure ongoing feud.
