----------------------------------------------------
A brisk spring night brings with it the sound of wagon wheels slowly turning along the cobblestone path, the smells of horses and oxen, spices, candles, lantern light illuminating an unfamiliar but welcoming face - a traveling caravan, strangers, settling in on the edge of the familiar town. As kalons step down from their wagons, idle chatter becomes friendly laughter, warm fires brighten the cool night sky, and the inviting smell of a meal draws you closer. Perhaps it would be polite to go say hello?
As you draw nearer the freshly roaring bonfire, the friendly laughter fades. A young kalon steps down from the side of his cart with a couple of satchels you can see are filled with fruits, spices, and fresh cuts of meat wrapped carefully after a recent hunt. The firelight glistens a new warmth to his friendly golden eyes, and he looks quite glad to see you.
"Hello, stranger," he greets you with a lively smile. "Care to join us for a time?"
With the cozy warmth of the fire soaking into you now, and the sweet smell of the food beginning preparation around you, you see no reason to leave.
"Wonderful," he laughs, inviting you to join him in seasoning the meats and preparing the fruits. Some of these spices you swear you've never even seen before, but they smell incredible.
"Come," he gestures again, as the food you've prepared together begins to simmer over the open flames. "We're going to share stories."
"My name is Al-Asha," the stranger introduces himself.
"Every kalon has their story to tell. Why not share with us yours? You never know. You may even learn something about yourself."
What do you say? Will you share your story?
This mini-event will focus on developing some of the kalons you already own.
Non-owners are welcome to use the kalon mascot, Pip, to participate!
The travelers have a variety of questions to ask you, and you may choose to participate in as many or as few prompts as you'd like! Each time you participate, you will be rewarded with Charisma points that can be traded for goods the caravan has brought along with them. The stories that stand out the most will also earn additional Charisma. You will also earn favor with the group over time, and they may be encouraged to give you a parting gift before leaving town!
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
The event will last from Tuesday, March 10th through Thursday, March 19th, after which the end raffle will be held on Saturday, March 21st*.
The event consists of 9 judged prompts, and 1 unjudged final prompt. You may pick and choose which prompts you would like to enter. The 9 judged prompts will each be hosted by a different member of kalon staff. If you have specific questions about a particular prompt, please direct them to the staff member hosting that prompt.
Each prompt will be hosted on its own separate thread, all linked in the posts below.
There will be two prompts open at a time, each for two days starting and ending on CS rollover (00:00).
If you don't know when CS rollover is, please reference the CS time and date page here, also found at the bottom of the CS page.
You may enter each prompt with either writing OR art, not both.
Writing entries must be at least 250 words in length.
Art entries must be at least a clean, recognizable sketch. No comics or animations.
All entries must be posted prior to the prompt closing. Any entries that do not meet these minimum requirements or are posted after the prompt is closed will not be counted.
Each prompt you enter will earn you 1 point of participation as well as 1 Charisma point to be spent in the Caravan Shop.
Each prompt will have 1 winner in the artwork category and 1 winner in the writing category who will each earn an additional 1 Charisma point.
All users who earn at least 3 participation points will be entered into the End Raffle for additional prizes.
All users who earn all 10 participation points will earn an extra ticket for the End Raffle.

Do I need to sign up to participate?
No, there is no sign up page. Simply post your prompt responses to the appropriate thread and you will be added to the bank accordingly.
Do I need to use the same kalon for the whole event?
No, you may use any kalon you'd like for each prompt.
I don't own any kalons, how can I participate?
You can use the species mascot, Pip, to participate.
Can I win more than one prompt?
There is no limit on how many prompts a user can win. Each judge chooses their favorite entries separately from one another.
Why isn't the final prompt judged?
The final prompt will be a wrap up to the event and therefore won't be competitive.
My points aren't in the bank, or my point count is incorrect.
Please allow 72 hours from the prompt closing before bringing any banking concerns. If 72 hours have passed and your bank is still incorrect, please contact Rabbit, Aey, or Kyar to get the issue corrected.
I got a confirmation PM for my shop purchase, but my bank isn't showing my purchase.
Please contact the user who you purchased the item from to correct this issue.
Why isn't my purchase in the regular kalon bank?
Event items will be moved over to the main bank after the event is closed and end raffle finished.
Can I still use items that I've earned in this event before they make it to the main bank?
Yes, but be sure to let the staff member doing the approval or using the item know where the item is located.

Can I make up kalons for background characters in my story/art?
Yes, but any fake kalons cannot be given a design. That means if you are writing about a made-up kalon, you can't include a physical description. If you're drawing a made-up kalon, they should be a basic kalon silhouette.
