Welcome to Crosshaven's Anniversary Cellebration! We've been a guild for a year, and it's time to cellebrate. This is a very special milestone for us.
This event has two threads to visit:
- An out-of-character event thread where everyone is invited to get together and socialize.
- An in-character event thread, in which the city's most important local holiday, All Havens Day, is cellebrated in the city's town square.
All Havens Day
This holiday is similar to Independence Day. It commemorates a very important date in the history of the city. In the early history of Crosshaven, it was called "Northern Cross," and it was a crossroads between many different lands. The government would juggle between different political parties, most of them corrupted, as money and varieties of people passed through the city. During this dark era, the Gifted of the city were shunned and mistrusted. The government tried to keep them out of the city, and confine them to shanty towns and prisons if they slipped in. After years of this, there was a revolution and power was seized by a group of allied Gifted and normal humans. Soon after, the city's first Gifted Governor came to power.
As the first of the new Governor's many reforms, he renamed the city "Crosshaven," and declared that the city would keep open its gates and welcome people of all walks of life inside its borders. There would no longer be any official government control of the gifted, and all people would enjoy equal liberties. The people went a step forward, and began to recognize the city a haven for all wayward and lost travellers, establishing the customs of hospitality and tolerance.
Not only does this holiday represent a day of triumph for civil rights, but it represents the core of Crosshaven's philosophy: All are welcome.
The Cellebration
The streets of downtown Crosshaven are draped with flashing lights, and the doors and gates of businesses are left wide open. The entire city is invited to mix and cellebrate.
The Square
Among the open doors are Town Hall, Daniel's Tavern, and most of the little shops downtown. It's almost litke a citywide block party.
