It was a time of mischief and magic within the realm of Aurum.Fools paraded the streets of Azar City, at the heart of which a great Firework display was in the midst of being set up. Vibrant colours lined the streets, flags and floral displays hanging from lampposts and out of the windows of towering buildings. Red, white, and black were a common theme, though a rainbow may as well have been present in truth.
An ultimatum had been brokered, for one day and one day only: in the spirit of the festivities all manner of prank or mischievous act would be permitted, provided they did not lead to the harm of another, and whoever pulled off the greatest would be named the Fool's King - a great honor in the Festival of the Fools. The title would come with crown, scepter, and even a throne in the center of Heroes Square, where a great feast would be held after dark.
The people of Aurum found any excuse they could to have fun, to find enjoyment in their lives, now that their harder days were over. If this meant recycling traditions of their ancestors then so be it.
Even the Je'daii who are, for the most part, ignorant to many of these cultural phenomenons have been invited out from their Academy to attend the Festival. Who knows, perhaps one of them will sit as the Fool's King when all is said and done...
