Extravaganza

The mood in Koben and Bratkowice is high - the tower revival worked, and while there's still much to do to save their Air Force's capability, a big hurdle has been heroically cleared. Congratulations and bar taps flow freely for those returned from the effort. Their first-hand tales are in high demand everywhere.

In Koben, it coincides with and heralds a Grand Fair buzzing with optimism. While the annual magic, science and technology fair - the biggest of its kind in Alva - was originally planned leaner than previous years, the revival news drives a surge of interest. Many who would otherwise have stayed home come out to enjoy the vibe and take a peek at the gadget presentations - possibly even catch a glimpse of the expeditioners. Entertainers come out in force, drawn by the story and jubilant spirit, making this a more party-like Grand Fair than usual.

For those interested in the magic and technology, alchemy and scrying are the golden children. The possible return of trade with Iadlain has alchemists and tinkers excited, as do rare dragon parts brought back down from the mountains. The revived scrying towers get a running start, with both worker recruitment and client interest booming.

Features: Free-flowing alcohol, glorious retellings of the revival, an overflowing Grand Fair
Colours: Koben & Bratkowice national colours
