Message: <blockquote data-quote="birdchili" data-source="post: 2709528" data-attributes="member: 33239">It's a highsun festival (midsummer/solstice) in a culture where the church of the sun is the dominant religion...The city is a frontier town (more like a city-state)...  A populous, double-walled fortress on a lake and river at the bottom of a canyon (the walls span from canyon wall to canyon wall (with the river flowing through) and the lake fills the entire chasm witdth at the other side).  Topside is sparsely populated with smallish walled compounds (former nobles and merchants/traders).  Summer is important as spring floods make the river unnavigable, even further isolating an already isolated community.  As most food is imported, spring can be a nervous time on bad years.  Most citizens wouldn't venture out of town due to safety issues (monsters and all, of course).  The town tends to a strong LN alignment, with people willing to put up with a lot of rules and burreacracy in order to secure safety.  The solar church would be more LG and is pretty-much the spiritual leader and hospital.Power in town is with the church and a plutocratic council of guild representatives.There's no obvious villain for this session...  The main bbeg (that my players are aware of) just escaped destruction at their hands and is temporarily out of their reach (in the lake).  There are a number of leads my players may follow-up on, but nothing that would obviously allow for an "adventure" within the confines of the festival. I've got some ideas for mini-events and contests - mainly for providing flavor for the town and letting my players do something that isn't hugely disgusting (they've been tracking evil through the town dump for the past few sessions - vile).  I don't, however, have a good idea for a narrative that can tie the festival together.</blockquote>
