The Summer Festival in Elisium is a sight to behold, the most anticipated annual event in the northern kingdom. Travelers from distant lands stream into the city, each one eager to partake in the grand celebration. Among the bustling preparations, a unique air of excitement lingers—this year’s festival promises to be the most elaborate and riotous yet.
Queen Arleale herself steps away from her royal duties to immerse herself in the week-long festivities. Her decision elevates the festival’s significance, adding a layer of majesty and allure that captivates the hearts of her subjects. The streets of Elisium buzz with life; stalls brim with the finest and most exotic merchandise, an array of colors and scents that entice every passerby. Merchants display their wares, from intricate jewelry to rare spices, while farmers gather to exchange knowledge and learn new techniques.
But the heart of the festival beats strongest in the anticipation of the knight tournaments and the Test of the Circle. Each year, the queen’s priests meticulously review and select knights they believe uphold the highest qualities of honor and professionalism. These chosen knights are granted the coveted opportunity to Test.
The Test of the Circle, judged personally by Queen Arleale, represents the ultimate challenge of a knight’s skill and courage. Stepping into the circle is a trial not to be taken lightly; it is the dream of every knight to win the right to wear the mark of the Sudin, the queen’s elite guard.
