Denocte Summer Beach Bash


Caligo sighs when she relinquishes the darkness, Oriens smiles as he takes to the sky, and Solis is quick behind. Even the fog on the great sea, full of mystery and intrigue, cannot stand against the fire that daylight brings. And beneath their watchful eye burns the beaches of Denocte. Shells from when last Caligo pressed her dark feet upon the sands still lay half buried, half resurrected in glittering gold and black striped shores. 

There are streamers and stalls, the markets’ vendors extending to the beaches, stalls set up and foods of all flavors permeating the air.  

Between the bodies and the scents, titillating activities pull crowds. Children hunt shells with their parents and friends, eagerly piling them into discarded buckets not used for the sand castles. Others still build their towering castles higher and higher, black and gold streaming together into the sky to see who would win. Those with more competitive natures still are found on the volleyball courts. Teams of two pair up and face off against opponents: here, the last one standing wins. 

Laughter rips over the softly rolling waves. Little dragons often found haunting the streets above instead roll in the seafoam. It is a day of community and a day of peace.

By the time night falls, the beach has calmed down from the day festivities. The shells and sea glass that have been collected from the shores are then used to craft special jewelry. There is no real competition here, although some may wish to make the flashiest necklace or bracelet. 

A sweetheart smiles to their lover, secretly weaving pearls in the middle both dark and light.  Bonfires are lit in typical Denocte fashion and a crowd gathers around. Smoke fills the air and people settle in, moving closer, the gentle lapping of water behind them. Entertainers and visitors have stories to tell the young and old if you stay and listen - they sing and they laugh and they cry. Always, always, there is friendship among the fire. 

For those who prefer to sit back and watch from afar, an outdoor bar has been set up with various cocktails to choose from. Some make you bold. Some make you more open to love. Everything seems a bit more magical tonight.
