Greetings and good day to you kind adventurer! Ro himself most certainly smiles upon you, permitting you to survive the shifting sands and marauding undead of these lands!  'Tis a fortunate turn of events, too, that you are here and able to take part in the Festival of the Sands! 

Adventurers from all over this parched region are coming together to celebrate in contests, festivals and events!  To fully experience what our most esteemed adventurers have to offer, you really must experience The Blessing of Ro and Opening Ceremonies, feel the searing coals from the Hot Coal Race, and maybe even test your mettle (or dodging prowess) in the Monkey Fights!

The events begin before the heat of the day on Sunday, August 15th, 2010 and last until the blazing sun leaves us on Saturday, August 21st, 2010!
