"Tell me about the Dragon Festival."


 * "The Dragon Festival is a holiday that allows the people of Cantha to relax and forget about the troubles of the world for a few days a year. The multi-day festival reaches it's climax when the Emperor reaches the monastery. He then performs an ancient ritual to call upon the constellation of the Dragon to give its blessing to Cantha."

"Tell me more about the history of the Dragon Festival."


 * "The Dragon Festival was established long ago, thought it did not become the massive celebration it is today until Emperor Hanjai ruled Cantha following the Jade Wind. The young emperor restored the one chaotic Dragon Empire to the orderly kingdom you see today. He felt is especially important for citizens to remember their roots and recognize that which they overcame. The festival gradually transformed into a grand celebration of Canthan strength. The dragon is the physical representation of that spirit in all of us."
