Tia’Malcara’s words promise a Festival packed with fun. But that begs the question: How do we acquire these ‘Cinder Shards’?
She smiles. “Observant, you are. It's simple! Dig. battle, and breed as you have been doing. You may find them by defeating monsters in a specific Biome, while Digging for treasure, or when Ascending Fire dragons to my care.”
What about Earth, or Water dragons, you ask.
“Only Fire dragons will grant Cinder Shards upon Ascension. And, I’ll be able to grant you double the amount of Ascension points for each Ascended Fire Dragon or Egg during the Festival as well!”
These Leyline alignments sound quite fascinating, you think! She agrees. After all, they’re the source of Dragon magic!
“Now then, my friend-I must finish preparation for this Festival, so please let everyone know about it! We’ll need everyone’s help to collect enough Cinder Shards to Kindle something incredible.”
She waves a taloned forepaw in the air and an arcane circle drawn from Draconic runes etches itself from thin air, glowing a brilliant blue color. From the arcane sigil emerges a scroll.
“Here, friend. This scroll contains all the details you’ll need to know. Oh, and please do let people know that there will be some goodies for them to collect as part of the event, including an event-specific Wand for digging, and a Biome Beacon to help you seek out monsters carrying Cinder Shards in the Molten Crater.”
You thank her profusely.
“Safe travels, friend! ‘Til we meet again!” With that, she turns her back to you and begins directing a few Adolescent dragons who seem to be failing miserably at building a wooden stall. Apparently the instruction manual was upside down.
You take a moment to review the Scroll, which seems to be a brief yet informative overview of what she has dubbed the First Festival of Flames:
