At last, the realm has recovered. Mikolai and Des’malion have finally returned to the sky in harmony, passively looking over their children in their endless rotation across the sky. This winter has surely been Des’amlion’s domain, the land laying frozen and scarred for what felt like an age. But now, that is but a passing memory. Mikolai’s life giving eye has warmed the snow and ice, melting it and nourishing the parched soil once more, being the balance to Des'malion's destruction intended to help Shimora turn a new leaf. Slowly but surely, the people have begun to rebuild, giving new meaning to the new year.
Continuous/Show events will be the focus for the season! With the new year dawning, it’s time to rebuild, recover, and start fresh. This is the Year of the Rooster, and we've got some special events and opportunities to celebrate!
With the sheets of snow finally melting away, what managed to be lost and frozen-over during the long winter is finally uncovered. Items and valuables that people might have dropped while traveling, or purposefully left in the snow to be preserved, need to be recovered! Something of a tradition, this egg hunt-like scavenging challenge is usually how many Shimorans kick off the new year. Teams of two go out into the damp earth with shovels and paws to dig up what was left behind. Maybe you might find something of interest?


Please submit all entries to the Rag'Oran Event 2017 Folder!

They will be sorted into their respective subfolders once they have been rolled!

End Date: February 28th


Scavenger Hunt

This is a two person scavenging event. Pick a partner. You may RP/collab, or do two separate pieces between the two of you. Depict your Shi’vali looking for something that they might have lost or buried to keep safe during the winter. The ground will be rather soggy due to the melting snow, so scavenging will be rather messy and slippery this time of year!

Glass Star Bullet (Yellow) by Gasara Drawn entires much be colored and shaded with a simple background.

Achievement Prize
 Every entry will be rolled for Scavenging (with the default Craftsman profession if you do not have one). If you do have a Profession, you will have a 10% chance to find your Professions items. At the end of the event, the teams will be put into a raffle for a Eye of the Rooster medal. This will be displayed in your Shi’vali’s comment section, and grants the Shi'vali a +10% success rate for returning items via Scavenging.

Strutting your Stuff

Power and Grace is a big show event held in the wonderfully colorful Lantasu. This event mirrors the rooster’s habit of "strutting his stuff", and Shimora has turned it into a competition to see who’s Shi’vali is the most impressive and powerful! The objective is for your Shi’vali to outdo all of the others to see who comes out top kitty. It can be a performance that shows off your Shi'vali's flare and beauty, a demonstration of strength, or even a riding discipline like dressage.
Each entry will be randomly rolled a number 1 through 80, with the highest possible total being 105, if applicable for the bonus points listed below.
Requirements
Depict your Shi’vali showing off in a seasonally tasteful arena. The objective is to impress the judges with their physical prowess or grace. Mikolai honors worthy fighters and performers, perfection is a must and the rewards are well worth the effort!

Yokai Hunt

With Shimora still recovering, the wards that kept Khanblau safe have weakened, as the harsh cold had prevented the fragile Meimei from venturing out. Kuan’Ti has gathered a hunting party to go out and exterminate the troublesome pests that have broken through. It’s up to you to go in and purge the jungle surrounding Zhoushau of evil before it has a chance to reach the city. Be wary though, powerful demon magic is at hand here, and the shadows crawl with a life of their own...
Requirements
Depict your Shi’vali going into the dark jungles of Zhoushau to hunt down the yokai infecting the shadows and wildlife it touches.

Beach Fishing

With Mikolai’s eye blazing hot and fresh in the skies, everyone’s taken to swimming to cool off. Shi’vali tend to feel the heat even more keenly. Many take advantage of this to fish at the beach. The Isle of Xia is an especially popular fishing spot, and returns are always well worth it. The population of Xia always makes a lot of jining hosting their own fishing parties in junk ships set out to sea. 
Requirements
Depict your Shi’vali fishing at the Isle of Xia on or near the beach, or even on a boat in the ocean. Fish to be depicted, if any, are sharks, dolphins or any number of level three fish available in the Bazaar!

Chicken Roundup

A bunch of new chicks have recently hatched, and the farmers have been selling them at a premium. However, way more were hatched this year than expected! The problem is, these little guys keep getting away! As you scramble about trying to scoop up as many baby chicks as possible without harming them, you swear you see the sun god himself sniggering in the shape of a cloud. Rather appropriate for the new years indeed!
Requirements
Depict your rider and/or your Shi’vali helping to herd small batches of errant chicks. Be careful though, fully grown Hens and Roosters are rather aggressive!

Rag’oran Racing

With the Rag’orans returning to Shimora, the Khan has taken great interest in healing any rifts that still exist between the beasts and the current inhabitants. Thus, she has suggested a race between the dragon royals around the newly discovered Sky Isle! This race will be Royal against Royal, flying through halos of light created by Meimei, with various obstacles like the constant blizzard chill that always wraps the Isle in snow.
Requirements
Depict one of the new Rag’oran Royals racing against at least one other Rag'oran Royal in the skies around the snowy Sky Isle. Rings of light mark their check points, and whoever reaches the castle beside the main lake first wins! 
Glass Star Bullet (Yellow) by Gasara Literature entries must be 1,000 words or longer.

Achievement Prize
Choose one of the Royal Rag'oran's you drew as who you think will win the race! The actual winner will be judged through RNG of 1-10 (as there will be ten Royal Rag'oran's participating) and anyone who picked the drawn winner will earn return the following:
Glass Star Bullet (Yellow) by Gasara 20,000 Jining
Glass Star Bullet (Yellow) by Gasara x1 Slot (to the Royal winner)
