The Harvest Luminary Festival is an annual tradition amongst Naidem residents, and finally, they are ready to let everyone attend.

This mini-festival-within-the-festival will run October 30 – November 3. It’s meant to be a simple, fun way to relax and get a bit of a carnival atmosphere at the end of Ebon Gate.

Details are forthcoming, but below is a bit of information and the lore behind it.

Features:
Return of the Midway Games: There are no jackpots for this return, but you can earn general tickets to spend on prizes
Prize Walls: There will be “prize walls” for you to spend your general tickts on for prizes. Examples you may expect to see are customs from Caligos and a few other items.
Prize Piles: There will be prize piles similar to what was seen at Delirium Manor at Naidem in 2023

Lore:
There is a new flower, the wisp lanterns, that are portrayed on this year’s artwork. Similar to the real life lanternberries (aka Chinese Lanterns), wisp lanterns have a bit of a Naidem twist to them. These will be special forageables found on the Harvest Luminary Festival grounds.

New gems, wispstones, can now also drop in Naidem.
