Evernight Festival Caravan

The Evernight Festival is the time of the year for one week where darkness engulfs the land, and Noctem, the second moon of Variel bathes the planet in its radiant glow. During this time, normal life changes to adapt to the way of the world. Most societies celebrate this change with the Evernight Festival. Festivities will change from locale to locale, but it is always marked by the arrival of the Evernight Festival caravan. This traveling caravan started as a single event in the dark elf capital of Avaril, but as the dark elves expanded across the world, they brought this tradition with them.
      The arrival of the Evernight Festival caravan alerts the locals to the start of the festival. It is a time where dark elves share their history with others through plays and oral retellings of their rise from slavery, to a unified people of might and wisdom. They share the culinary traditions of their people, as well as their social ideals, and sports. It really is a time when, for the duration of Evernight, dark elf culture takes over cities all across Variel. 
      Most people are excited for the culinary diversity that comes with the Caravan. Dark Elves pride themselves on their palate, and enjoy bringing this experience to others. Throughout the year, farmers, bakers, and butchers prepare their food stores in Avaril. Chefs train a multitude of new chefs that travel with the supplies to partake in the festival. Athletic clubs from all over the dark elf homelands travel with the caravan to bring sporting events to each city. When the festival begins, it is a nonstop affair until the rising of the sun on the eighth morning. Many who came to celebrate the festival then gather to give their appreciation to the traveling caravans, and often help them clean up. It serves as highly beneficial for the dark elves as well, as the celebration always piques interest, and increases travel to the dark elf nation throughout the rest of the year.
