Pebbles was crouched, talking to Orjan at a whisper, “count to three and then I’ll sneak in first, you come in right after, okay? We don’t need a lookout, we’ll just jump out the window if we’re caught” She had been watching the other Orvuns recently to learn how to sneak up on prey, and now they were going after their first target... kind-of.

“I think he keeps the sweets in his room so we won’t find them.” She rubbed her hands together, anticipating the candy they were about to find. The door was closed, and as she put her hand on the handle, she began to fear what else the two of them might find.

In Upper Anuipuk, the midsummer celebrations often focus on the thawing of the land as it is a sign of summer. Additionally, they use the start of summer as the signal for a very important celebration; the sacrifice Ahmnka made for the sake of her people. 

The celebration follows the thawing of the land as many warmbloods, that took refuge on their deities back, return to the sea. Elderly and very young children stay behind, though they see off their family members that are returning to sea for the summer. They thank Ahmnka for her sacrifice, for allowing them to shelter from the harsh winter months on her back, and wish her good tidings for the summer.

Lower Anuipuk is vastly different from its counterpart. Due to the vast and diverse collections of species and races, this little place has so much culture bursting amongst its streets. Because of this, the festivities are often packed with many different cultural rituals. All in all, this place has one huge festival, with a culmination of different stalls and areas temporarily put up to showcase these varying cultures. 

Pirrelvag 

Centuries ago, Anuipuk faced a particularly harsh winter, even creatures that could stand the cold were suffering. A Harp Seal Warmblood was stranded on the island, injured and afraid, unable to fend for herself. Due to her injuries and the severe weather, the Warmblood had succumbed to the elements and passed away. With this tragic death, the indigenous peoples and creatures presumed that her spirit was unrestful, and every winter the weather would be harsh.

 They believed it to be her spirit manipulating the weather in response to the grief and tragedy she faced. To appease her, so that their spirit might find peace and calm the harsh winters, the people created a tradition that would continue into the present day; the Pirrelvag Festival, in which they created a shrine to place gifts, hoping to offer peace and kindness to the spirit and assure her that she was remembered. 

 Nowadays, people have their own little shrines in their homes, in which they offer foods and goods. It was also believed that the spirit of the Warmblood would gift those back who had gifted her. The food at the small shrines would be eaten, and gifts left in their stead. So, the day after the people would wake up to gifts and open them, thanking the spirit with a well-made lunch thereafter. The name given to the spirit is "Asiaq" and she is well-loved among people in Anuipuk.

The Pirrellvag Festival takes place when Anuipuk’s winter is at its harshest. It is a celebrational ritual held for a spirit of the island, in which people collate together and give offerings to a main shrine in their village or city, as well as having little shrine for offerings at home. It is believed that the spirit comes to these shrines and takes the gifts, and in return for the gifts given to her, she is believed to leave something behind in gratitude. The next day, people awake to find gifts near the shrines and spend the day thanking the spirit by visiting family and having a meal together. They believe the spirit will feast with them as they eat and find joy from the celebrations, thus letting her soul be restful and the winters to be calmer until the next year.

The Event will take place from the 27th of December to the 29th of December!

The Event will take place on the Island of Anuipuk! Have your muses travel to experience a a few days of festivities, where you can exchange gifts, pays respects to a wonderful spirit and even get to meet new people!

Lovise let out a sigh. Of course this had to happen to her. Of course she had to decide to swim close to a cliff, even though she knew there was a storm coming up soon. But no she had to decide it was the perfect time to go hunting by the cliffs. Sometimes she really hated herself and the decisions she made.

Due to her practically none-existing self-preservation-skills, Lovise was now stuck on the side of a massive cliff,clinging to it for her dear life, the storm still raging on. She wasn’t really able to move, her tail starting to transform into her legs already, and jumping into the water was out of the question since she didn’t felt like getting impaled by the rocks or something.

You have three days to send in your application!
