Starlight Pageant

A week-long celebration in the city-state of Nibenay coinciding with the The Festival of the Highest Sun.

During these events, dozens of young female dancers make their way from the Naggaramakam down the High Road to the Reservoir Garden just inside the city wall. Here they perform a meticulously orchestrated series of ballets drawn from a large traditional repertoire. The stories celebrate the city, its folklore, its history and the king. While Nibenay himself does not attend these festivals, his defilers supplement the performances with many colorful illusions that are integrated into the ballet.

Numerous contests of strength, skill and luck as well as fortune telling and drinking games occur from dusk until dawn.
