begin of the festival

After ensuring everything was moving according to plan, Jack reached out to Ela, the city lord of Lunaris. If Goldspire was going to move past its paranoia, it needed to open itself to the world beyond its walls. What better way than inviting Lunaris' merchants to showcase their prosperity? He established a direct mental connection with Ela, who responded almost immediately, her tone carrying amusement and curiosity.

"You always need something when you call," she teased. "What is it this time?"

Jack smirked at her playful tone. "I'm organizing a festival in Goldspire. The people here need to see that the outside world is thriving and that they aren't alone. I want to invite merchants from Lunaris—let them bring their finest goods, their best crafts, their rarest items. If the people here see it for themselves, they'll understand that there's more to the world than their fear."
