And with them, excited chatter about the festivities begins to be heard all over the place: Timthriall is here once again!
With the passing Síocháin full of small gestures and relaxation, dwellers from all over Kósmos are now recharged and ready to celebrate!
How will your Eláfkeri tackle the season's festival this time?

{ About }
Welcome to our second Timthriall!!
This season's Timthriall consists of a simple art-based event meant to be light and fun while more things cook behind the scenes!
As many of you may remember, Timthriall's traditions vary from season to season: while spring's Timthriall welcomes new life, autumn's Timthriall bids farewell to parting one.
Like most creatures of Kósmos, Eláfkeria tend to have a deep connection with the festivities, and look forward to the celebrations.

While Timthriall is lore-heavy, keep in mind you don't have to follow the lore if you don't wish to! You may tweak and adapt prompts and lore to your liking, as long as all event criteria is met.

{ Prompts }
To participate in the event, depict your Eláfkeri celebrating Timthriall during spring or autumn, following any of the prompts below.
Keep in mind that the mentioned "relevant traditions" in each prompt are for lore purposes! You may read more about them in the Culture guide if desired, but it's not necessary at all.
________________________________________
Prompt One: Smore's Little Sprouts ( Autumn )
Smore has decided to organize a small seed-planting day for autumn! Alongside other dwellers of Ágape, she's decided to gather seeds from all over Ágape Forest to plant them around Mirësi Grove.
But there's one issue: there's not enough creatures to help carry all the seeds!
Depict your Eláfkeri helping carry bags of collected seeds to cross the sea towards Mirësi Grove!
Relevant tradition: Autumn Timthriall Seed-Planting.

Prompt Two: The Largest Bonfire ( Autumn... and Spring )
While looking around the spring celebrations, something odd catches your eye: a HUGE pile of wood seems to be arranged into a statue of sorts, despite it being spring, not autumn... is it a cow? No.
A flash of bright blue tells you otherwise. Proving your assumption, good, old Crookedfeather pops out from behind the wooden thing with a log between their teeth. It's a statue of themself, and they're still adding the finishing touches!
Without giving you a chance to escape, they drag you over with a wing, and tell you it needs to be taller than Írida Mountain before setting in on fire, for the bonfire skipping tonight, of course.
Depict your Eláfkeri building, finishing, or attempting to skip over the monstrous Crookedfeather half-statue half-bonfire!
Relevant tradition: Spring Timthriall Bonfire Skipping; Autumn Timthriall Statue Carving.

Prompt Three: Prisme's Flower Garden ( Spring )
Somewhere in Kósmos, where spring's a gentle caress of dancing petals and serene, whispering grass, Prisme has a garden.
It's a garden made of all sorts of flowers and trees, that sprout every year to bring beautiful aromas and colors to a small corner of the Kósmos.
Still, you've noticed Prisme isn't one of many friends, and it seems that their lovely garden doesn't receive much of a Flower Dance each spring. Maybe if you invited other dwellers, you could host a Flower Dance for the little garden?
Depict your Eláfkeri organizing the Flower Dance for Prisme's small garden!
Relevant tradition: Spring Timthriall Flower Dance.
