Starlight Celebration 2015: A Time to Call Our Own (12/11/2015)

Bells ring out across the city as the people of Vana'diel make ready for the Starlight season.

Starlight Celebration – the most lively and beloved of winter festivals.

At least it should be. The usually lavish decorations and busy preparations that the people of Vana'diel have grown accustomed to have been uncommonly late in coming this year.

This irregularity in seasonal timing was not completely lost on the busy adults struggling to make it through the end of the year, but for the city's bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked children, this critical deficiency in festive cheer was an unbearable outrage.

In the face of this dark injustice, a brave band of heroes from Windurst united to set Starlight Celebration back on track.

Read on to learn of the daring deeds that this fateful fellowship undertook to save their Starlight Celebration in Windurst.
