Hi everyone, Luminalia is back in Stanton! Whether you are here for the thrill of sharing gifts and greeting friends, new festive missions, or to celebrate Banu lore, there is a lot to jump into in 2955. The Glow Festival of Luminalia is a holiday celebrated by both Banu and Humans each year on December 22. It began as the Banu festival tsikti efanga, or Glow Festival, which was held irregularly and marked by the lighting of ceremonial lamps. While the lamps are lit, all Banu, wherever they are, are considered one Souli. They open their Soulis to friends, business partners, and even passing strangers, giving gifts so they will always have something to trade. In return, guests are expected to bring food, drinks, or party favors, and if they cannot, the host will usually have items available for purchase. If you're interested in the Banu language, check out our Rust Society Guide to Interacting with the Banu!
