Ely edit Feb 10 2022:

Already awarded. Gleeshow attendant awards were saved ingame, so those will be awarded eventually.

****************************************************

Summary:
After the month of Saban recently finished, Jeyid leads a performance to celebrate the solemn holiday of Lamma Sor, the Day of Remembrance celebrated in the Borderlands to honor and remember those who have fallen in the defense against the Blight. As if sensing their efforts to honor the dead, the Shadowspawn rudely interrupt the performance twice, but the show must go on!

POV: Jeyid
Attendees: Ankh, Elmer, Ivran

Edited to run through RP-lizer and remove irrelevant activity and spam. I was already awarded for the performance itself, but posting for posterity's sake and for the benefit of those who did not receive QPs for the show.

Caemlyn Central Square
You are in a large stone square, right in the middle of Caemlyn's outer
city. You see a wide boulevard to the north, and the path to the inner
city. There are a number of shops around you. The density of the population
is really quite incredible. It's almost impossible to relax as you are
being constantly bumped and jostled. From here you can really get a good
view of the outer city, and this just makes you appreciate the older inner
city all the more. A large banner hangs nearby, depicting a map of
Caemlyn's outer city.

Jeyid says 'Do any of you know what this solemn holiday is about?'

Ankh shakes her head.

Jeyid says 'A fitting one, given the recent circumstances.'

Ivran smiles happily.

Jeyid says 'On it, we remember those who have fallen in the defense of the Blight border, those who gave their lives to protect all of humanity against the Shadow.'

Jeyid smiles sadly to Elmer. 'I know that you, good sir, aspire to join the forces of Shienar's armies. If you have not known loss yet, I know that you will, in time.'

Ankh seductively blinks her eyes at Elmer.

Ankh says 'So brave!'

Elmer nods solemnly.

Jeyid says 'On Lamma Sor, it is tradition to eat nothing but bread, water, salt, or oil. And the day is spent in quiet contemplation, reflection, and prayer.'
