Dragon Festival

For the in-game Dragon Festival Event, see Guild Wars Factions Dragon Festival

The Dragon Festival is an annual Canthan celebration that takes place in the summer.

History
After the assassination of Emperor Angsiyan at the hands of Shiro Tagachi and the catastrophe of the Jade Wind which threatened to wipe out and destroy the empire of Cantha, newly crowned emperor, Emperor Hanjai, the son of Angsiyan, announced the commencement of a new festival... The Dragon Festival.

The festival marks the anniversary of establishing the settlement on Shing Jea Island as well as the expansion of Kaineng City to accomodate the refugees from the areas hit hardest by the Jade Wind. It is named the Dragon Festival to symbolize the survival of the Empire of the Dragon (Cantha) in the face of that calamity.


 * It is unknown how the concept of "summer" works with the Canthan Calendar.
