~*~ Lalafell Autumn Festival ~*~ September 4th, 2015 - 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
Greetings to all citizens of Eorzea! The Netlink of Eorzean Taverns is pleased to present to you... the Lalafell Autumn Festival!
As the month of Nophica steadily approaches, marked by the falling sands of the Keeper's hourglass, the warm summer breezes, having traveled across the Rhotano Sea, will soon be driven away by the wintry winds borne in the wake of Oschon. With the hours of the Warden's gaze upon the land become evermore quick to retire and the towering mountains of Eorzea welcome the rising gentle glow of the moon, the Lalafells of Clan Moguri have gathered in the Black Shroud to host another day of festivities and fun.
With the approval from the Adventurer's Guild, the local support of a few independent free companies and the sponsorship of certain individuals, the Netlink of Eorzean Taverns and the Lalafells of Clan Moguri have collaborated in creating a festival near the end of the Moonfire Faire that pays homage to the change in season and coming arrival of Autumn and in honor of Nophica, tender of soils and harvests and the goddess of abundance. For it is an abundant surplus that contributes to a richer, economic commerce.
