What is Harvenluna? An event that occurs at twilight and into the night in celebration of the year's food harvest and increase of game to hunt. As time went on the aspect of Harvenluna being about food (completely) has died down thanks to advances in society making food easily available, but the tradition continues on. Harvenluna has a very spooky aesthetic to it, for the night is dark and people are out of their homes to join their communities for food around large fires. Children dress up in bramble, tattered clothes, and masks made to look like briars and other monsters just before heading out; their goal is to scare the adults who are minding their own business. As even more time passed and the scare tactics of the youth became more popular, the aspect of fright during Harvenluna expanded. Ptithians made decorations for their house with creepy tapestries, red paint smeared on doors, but things remained simple- until the lindosts got involved. Then, Harvenluna truly became a night for those seeking a thrill of horror.

Despite it's name, the lindosts' Circus of Horrors isn't always a circus. Their choice of venue could be anything, but it's always what they deem would be terrifyingly fun for their attendees. This year, Steam City will be getting a flood of new people. A large 1920s-esce hotel rests on the edge of a boulder-covered cliff. It is old and overgrown, unused for many years after so many murders and mysteries remain unsolved behind its grand double doors. It is infamous for being haunted and its basement rumored to be filled with starving monsters. The lindosts have set up across the abandoned hotel. Minimally transforming it into an even scarier variation of itself. Vendors, games, parties, and terror are all promised.

Events & Activities

Ringmaster's Theatre
• In the hotel's old stage theatre, the ringmaster hosts his show. Hiding behind massive velvet curtains is a show beyond anyone's nightmares. Victims and performers are here to entertain. The show is not recommended for the faint-hearted or children.

Cadaver's Hunt
• Long hallways, empty rooms, large ominous paintings... follow the red carpet along the corridors and hope you don't get lost. You and a group of attendees are sent on a fetch quest around the hotel. Your goal? Find the golden fruit and return it to your gamemaster lindost. Your life is on the line as you encounter the angry ghosts and hungry monsters stalking the hotel beyond the safe zone.

Rooftop Party
• Head up the spiraling stairs and watch as the walls get darker and darker. Spindly, hair-like spikes of hardened blood begin to fill the stairway until a breath of fresh air hits your face. You have reached the rooftop of the hotel. The night sky is high above and a grand party is happening.

Vendor Hall
• A safe area, a ballroom cleared out for vendors to sell their crafts, wares, and food. Anyone may set up shop. (Other communities can be granted access to sell their stuff within the event.)
