[Virgil Marks]

Welcome, everyone, to the annual celebration of the Nox Nocturnalis!

For those of you who may be new, this celebration is a full of fun and excitement, but also has plenty of time for somber reflection. During the first few days of the festival, we celebrate the life and all that it brings us during our short time. Friends, family, and even strangers all join in on the festivities!

Once the end of the festival draws near, we all set a small boat with a candle on the nearby river to symbolize the recently deceased; the journey down the river mimics the journey of the recently departed to Toamna, the resting place of the dead. During this time of somber reflection, we wish those on this journey peace and ask them to watch over us in the year to come.

Join us over the next week for fun games and fabulous prizes.
