Fire Festival Fuels Faction Feuding

Factual filings from Veritia Invino...

Midsummer Fire FestivalOVER the last week there has been reported a significant increase of street violence in big cities as well as a number of Horde attacks on peaceful rural communities all around Azeroth. The escalation of crime is said to be triggered by Midsummer Fire Festival activities.

As the nations of the Alliance gather peacefully around bonfires to celebrate the unity of the Sun and the Moon by traditional maypole dancing, bonfire jumping, festive food and drinks, jealous Horde members attack unsuspecting guests and put down and desecrate fires. Several citizens were wounded in a heroic stand against attackers when a rummaging band of rascals raided Stormwind and Ironforge in a futile attempt to steal fire from the city pyre.

Our sources of information claim the Horde are trying to copy long-established festival and make similar efforts to hold large bonfire parties in their lands. Unfortunatelly, they miss the main point of the traditions being joy and peace, and turn them into aggressive drunken orgies. Both the King and festival Loremasters encourage brave adventurers to stop their unworthy efforts.

Last Saturday a group of diplomats escorted by a regiment of Immortalis representatives were delegated to investigate the case and discuss the problem with the leaders of the Horde. Again, none of them deemed the issue worthy their time, and the diplomats were not only refused the audience with any of them, but they also faced hostility and threats from both the guards and citizens of Orgrimmar and Silvermoon!
