Star Lines Festival

On a winter's night, in the dry and crisp air of the Karnak continents central desert, a festival is held to co-inside with the annual meteor shower. The Star Lines Festival has been a regular family gathering festival for Hundreds of years with the origins probably dating back to the first realization that the arrival of the star lines falls regularly on the same dates each year.
While the people of the Karnak continents central desert may not have understood the cause of the lines, being the leftover dust of a large meteor that Exflora passes through yearly on its orbit around its sun, they did understand its beauty. The Meteor must have had a very strong dust tail as there is a quite confined and condensed dust residue cloud that produces lines of bright intensity.
The lines can be a bright yellow or yellow-green colour and can usually be seen over 3 nights with the middle night being the night of the strongest effect. The Star lines Festival is also held over the 3 nights with the opening and closing nights being the more festive on the 3 nights. 
The first night will encompass a welcoming feast for the family to gather together around a fire pit and celebrate the gathering of the family after a year apart.  On the middle night of the festival, small groups usually gather in dark hollows in the desert landscape to tell stories in the dark and sometimes create knitted artwork to commemorate the evening. The evening is being dedicated to thoughtful contemplation to honour the star lines as they travel across the sky. On the last evening of the Festival, the whole community get together to celebrate the passing of the Star lines. Families gather with other families in a central area to sing and tell oral histories of the passing of the Star Lines. The festival finishes in the early hours of the morning to be reconvened the following year.
