The Dance of the Light

---

Starlight filters through the clouds around you, casting an intricate pattern of light on the ground at your feet. You are surrounded by a group of people, dancing and laughing, and you are happy...

Origins

Setting

Strion is a generally dark planet with thick mists swirling across its surface. On occasion, there is a break in these mists and the light of Orion touches the surface of the planet. When this happens, a great dance occurrs and the Strions celebrate the coming of the light.

Purpose

The Strions believe that the coming of this light is a gift to them from the star Orion. To show their thanks, they put on a festival of dance in its honour. This can last for a few hours to up to a few weeks, depending on how long the light lasts. These festivals are a key part of Strionan culture.

Solo Adventurers

Sometimes, a solo adventurer will stumble across the lights unintentionally. When this happens, they tend to celebrate in a more subdued fashion. Instead of dancing and singing, they may leave a Flower Message or spend some time in quiet thought.

Strionan religion

The majority of Strions believe that the Star Orion helped calm the winds and allowed them to settle on this planet. In return, they try to show it their thanks as often as they can. However, due to the sheltered nature of their planet, this can often be difficult. Therefore, whenever they do have a chance to show their appreciation they often celebrate in an extreme and over-the-top way.
