Sable Sunfare

The Origins

Long before the Obsidian Valley became known for its eerie beauty, it was a place of war. The jagged rocks were remnants of a battle between the original Perfpal's ancient armies. Even after centuries had passed, the twilight never faded. The land itself seemed caught between day and night, a lingering scar of that war.  Sometimes Perfpals can still hear some of the ancient beasts echoing from the bottom of the sea.
As the leader of Karanova, Yasemin saw how the seasons shaped her people’s hearts. Summer brought energy and abundance, but it also brought restlessness and a sense of pride. She believed that strength wasn’t only about victory, but also knowing when to yield and reflect. The perpetual twilight of the Obsidian Valley inspired her. It symbolized the delicate balance between light and darkness. One could say it also represented the difference between holding on and letting go.
She founded Sable Sunfare to give her people a way to honor that balance. The festival would not be about mourning summer’s end but celebrating what had been gained.  This was a way to release what could no longer be carried into the colder months. 
"Summer burns hot, but no flame lasts forever. Strength is knowing when to set it down."

The first festival was held in the heart of the Obsidian Valley under its eternal twilight. Yasemin invited all Perfpals of Karanova, regardless of rank or wealth, to gather on the black glassy sands. She arrived not in armor, but in casual dress. She proudly showed off her missing arm as a symbol of what she had let go of in the past.  The traditions below are the same things that Yasemin practiced all of those years ago.

What Is Sable Sunfare

Perfpals celebrate by having a giant festival on the beach.  This Holiday is not celebrated everywhere in the world. Perfpals who have moved away from Karanova travel back to the beaches to celebrate. Perfpals spend the entire day on the shore experiencing all of the different stalls, activities, and special little attractions that only come around this time of the year. 

The entire shoreline glows with lanterns and glass orbs placed in the sand. At night, the light reflects across the smooth black shore. There are colorful streamers hung up everywhere along with fairy lights. Since it's always twilight here, the lighting is very important. Music fills the air, all traditional instruments reminiscent of ancient times. Drums, flutes, and stringed instruments can be heard.

Kids can be seen with little bioluminescent crowns on their heads.  This represents one last shining outlook upon summertime.  Adults wear shimmering veils upon their heads. This represents the acceptance of the darkness of fall.
