Side Quests for Artisans
You are going about your business one day when you spot a huge, brightly coloured poster pinned to a building nearby.
You take a look. It seems to be advertising an event called the Fairyfire Arts Festival, held in Reves du Soleil and hosted by Scarramuccia’s School of Visual and Performing Arts! It promises music, singing, poetry competitions, dance performances, extravagant art installations and incredible galleries, fashion shows, and theatrical plays.The Fairyfire Arts Festival is the stuff of legend - its an annual event that Scaramuccia’s School spends the whole year preparing for. Rumour has it, the King and Queen of Folkland will be in attendance this year!
At the bottom of the poster, a note calls for all aspiring creatives to sign up to perform or showcase their work at the festival.
As a creative person, you are immediately interested. The sign up sheet at the bottom of the poster asks you to audition or submit a portfolio to Scarramuccia’s Master Artisans.

The night of the big event is here. The Fairyfire Arts Festival is a whirlwind of colour, light and noise. Fae of all kinds gather underneath fairy lights made from lightning bugs, floating lanterns and rainbow fairy fire in jars (the namesake of the festival). Laughter and music echo through the air as performers on stilts weave through the crowds, and the scent of smoke and spices drifts from fire-lit stalls brimming with art and sculptures. At the heart of it all, the grand big top rises like a beacon, holding the main stage for performances for the evening. Somewhere inside, the King and Queen underneath a canopy of tropical flowers, holding golden eyeglasses up to get a better view of the main stage.
