That time to show how much you love each other! ( Maybe! )
The language of the flowers is something symbolic to Glae and its residents! The Garden of Vita, just North of Glae’s central capital city, is blooming and bustling with flowers of every kinds! Every year during the flower ceremony, certain flowers are picked, thirteen different species in fact, for everyone to give and show their feelings to another!
Below you will find the flowers that vendors are selling for you to give your loved ones ( or most hated rivals )!
Acacia Blossom - Concealed Love; showing these flowers will reveal your true affection to your potential lover!
Blood Rose - Death; give these flowers to those who have passed on to the other life! Blood roses are literal leeches and scavengers that drain the blood out of corpses! If you touch them without gloves, they will use their thorns to prick you and drain you of your blood!
Cannabis - Live Life to the Fullest; give these flowers to those who need a little lighting up in their life!
Coral Rose - Friendship; give these flowers to your best bro!
Crocus - Cheerfulness; receiving these flowers, means you always make someone smile!
Forget-Me-Not - Memories; a flower that symbolizes cherished memories of the past and present!
Gemis - Brilliance; these flowers are very rare to find but flower pickers have scrounged up enough to sell them ( at nearly 800 gold pieces! ) Give these flowers to those who are worth more than you will ever be!
Hyacinth ( Purple ) - Apologies; a flower to be given to show your apology to another.
Lily ( Orange ) - Hatred; know someone you hate? Send them these! Glae orange lilies will spray a substance like mace into your rival’s eyes!
Peony - Shame; give these to those you wish could feel the same shame as you do with all your dreams where you don’t wear clothes in public!
Snapdragon - Deception; give these flowers to the person who has ruined your life and want to break up with! They’ll make your heartbreak smell like rotten meat for a week!
Venus Fly Trap - Be Gone; a very popular and dangerous flower in Glae, the venus fly trap is approximately six feet tall and will devour whoever crosses its way! We recommend you to put these flowers outside your door for any unwanted trespassers!
Violet ( White ) - Take a Chance; a perfect flower to ask out that honey you’ve been eyeing across the way for quite some time!
We’re glad to see so many offerings being given to the Goddess Rie! Her moon surely glows and blesses down upon you!
As we continue our festivities, we come to celebrate another important part of the Riese Festival. It’s time for Mistlefoe!
Mistlefoe, is somewhat similar to mistletoe, but better. When you find yourself underneath the mistletoe flower, you must draw battle with that person you come across! It’s a friendly spar of course, and the winner is blessed with a special prize from the Goddess Rie! There’s no limit to how many spars you may undergo, but the prizes may come in smaller packages.
Mistlefoe is placed randomly throughout Glae, so there’s no telling when and where your duel will be!
As apart of giving thanks to the Goddess Rie, it’s important for offerings to be made to your local shrine! When Rie’s moon is bright in the sky, you come to the obelisk shrine that has been decorated with lights and candles. You kneel before the shrine and say your prayer; you make one wish that you want before the year ends.
It is said that if you give an offering and make a wish to the Goddess Rie, you will receive a present from the Goddess herself. But perhaps it’s only a rumor... or is it?
This is the time where the Goddess Rie will give you ( your character ) gifts! If you make an offering to a shrine and tag your post with #rieblessing, you may just get a special something in your inbox! There’s honestly no limit to these gifts, but your present will depend on how good of an offering you give to the Goddess Rie. So give wisely.
The Riese Festival is upon us! Rie, the Goddess of Death and the third moon that circles Glae, has come to give us her blessing!
This is a human holiday, but we know Winters are tough and Rie means no harm, but it is just the cycle of life! So in celebration of her essential part, the Riese Festival is formed to honor the Goddess Rie and all she does for us.
Shrines are placed throughout Glaedreon, for you to offer your prayers and offerings to the Goddess of Death. In return, you will surely be blessed with a new year to come! And each week, the Goddesses will have a surprise for you too!
This week, the Goddess Rie has decided she will gift the people with…
Food! Lots and lots of food! With the help of your friendly Resistance and the Order, markets will be stocked with food and goodies for you and your loved ones at a cheap and reasonable price! By sharing your meals and your treats with your loved ones and neighbors, good fortune is sure to come to you! Food, of course, will be given to the homeless as well, so you don’t have to worry about them!
There’s a rumor going around that if you make a cake for your loved ones, you’ll be granted with a bit of a magic boost. Just a secret between you and me.
Please enjoy the festivities and the decorations that have been put on display! Lights, presents and more are sure to come!
