April 18th @ 6pm EST
Crystal, Mateus, North Shroud, Fallgourd
A yearly festival celebrating the turning of spring, cherishing new life and new memories and washing away the old.Every year, a fasting takes place to thank the elementals for another fruitful turn, as well as a constant appreciation for their blessing in the construction of Fallgourd some turns ago. Upon this day, those partaking in the fast will be allowed to consume fish and enjoy in revelry through the night.Activities such as fishing, seedsowing, bobbing for apples, charm making and dancing fill the evening, while indulging in various breweries and seasonal treats.
Seedsowing is a tradition initially coined by Tay-E-Yan during Woodgreet Mass. An angered wind sprite engaged Tay-E-Yan while on a mission to gather items for the upcoming ceremony. A great gust caused the collected flowers and their pods to go flying, scattering them into the wind to find root elsewhere. A turn later, Tay-E-Yan returned to the area and found that a perfect circle had been made of flowers from the same seeds that they had carried the turn prior.Captivated, they returned back to Stillglade and reported the sight. This had to have been a blessing, as such formations only appear around Sylphlands or the Lifemend Stump. They found not only the ring, but a perfect settlement for fishing. Thus, Fallgourd's construction received an official blessing from the Elementals. Since Fallgourd's construction, every year during the Seedwreath festival, it is considered good luck to sow seeds into the nearby water channels. And if you look closely, you can still find these very flowers in a circle about the central aetheryte to this sun.

run by the Galadion Accord
It isn't a seasonal event without the age-old tradition of apple bobbing. Bring a friend or be paired against a stranger to bob for success at our apple bobbing station. Whoever has more apples by the end is the winner and takes home a plushie.
Objective
Collect the most apples with just your mouth from a barrel filled with water and apples.Winner takes home a plushie (minion)!
Rules
Contestants must make a DC check each round. On a success they pull up an apple. Repeat this check five times. Whoever has the most successes is the victor of their competition. If there is a tie, they continue to bob for apples until one contestant has more successes.DC starts at 11 but each round the DC increases as their are less apples DC 11, then DC 12, then DC 13, etc.
