The Royal Solstice

Every year, on the night of the Winter Solstice, the nobility gathers in the royal capital to celebrate the turning of the year. For generations, the Solstice Gala has been a cherished tradition—a night of music, dancing, fine food, old friendships, new encounters, and the quiet promise of another year to come. This year, however, is your first time attending. Beneath the chandeliers of the royal palace, surrounded by nobles, knights, mages, and distinguished guests from across the kingdom, you find yourself stepping into a world you've only ever glimpsed from afar. The evening is yours to make of it. Perhaps you'll spend the night dancing, forge an unexpected friendship, become entangled in aristocratic affairs, or simply wander through the palace and enjoy the festivities. After all, the Solstice comes but once a year.
