The Glowing Coast

I've grown up around here, but this still amazes me every single year. It's such a magical and beautiful event. And then joining the Night of the Moon Festival in Okodranous for the first time was just the cherry on top.

During the Winter Solstice, the Golden Coast witnesses one of the most beautiful natural events worldwide. About two weeks before the solstice, all the Ambrosia Fungi along the coast stop emitting their glowing spores into the air, and the coast becomes significantly darker during night. For those two weeks, each night becomes darker and darker, as the moon gets closer and closer to a new moon.
Then the moment the sun sets on the day of the solstice, all the fungi release their spores at once, shrouding the entire coast into a slight blueish light. Even in this dark night, the spores make it seem like eternal dusk.
This night is the culmination of the religious year of the Star Seekers. The moment the fungi release their spores, the entire Golden Coast starts celebrating the Night of the Moon Festival. For an entire night, the coast is celebrating and dancing, showing of magic and honoring Tria. Then when the sun starts rising, the festival ends with the big prophecy of Tria in front of Tria's Light in Okodranous.
