Saturday Night in the Landing: Vlashandra leads the first part of the ritual at Lake Eonak as Landing citizens and friends volunteer to bleed and burn for the cause of bringing Aralyte back. Despite initial rough starts, the elemental essences eventually react as expected to Vlashandra’s magic and all seems well, preparing the way for the next parts of the ritual throughout the month.
