Race of the Eight Winds

The Race of Eight Winds is a sporting event that takes place in the Dura quarter of Sharn on the 23rd day of Lharvion each year. Traditionally, the race features eight riders, each riding a flying beast representing a different area of the Dura Quarter, competing on an aerial course through and around the spires of Sharn. The winner of the event receives a gold purse and some land, as well as glory for the area of the Dura quarter they represented. The race is a major cultural touchstone for the Dura quarter and brings in spectators from across Khorvaire. According to a popular legend, King Galifar II found the Race of Eight Winds by using Sharn to test the suitability of different flying creatures for being used as aerial cavalry and scouts.

For the upcoming race a Dura resident, Ariana Cromwell , has been impressing people with her skills.
