Festival of Hearts History
The Festival of Hearts celebrates an ancient tale of love between Rylan and Arianna. These two young pixies met long ago in what would later become Merry Vale, but were separated by magic.
At the heart of the festival is a special flower planted by the couple before they were forced apart that still blooms today. It stands out from the rest of the sunflowers in Merry Vale because of its red, pink and magenta colors.
Every year the fairies of Merry Vale celebrate the magic the flower contains: love, friendship, and kindness. This is a time of joy and laughter that draws visitors from all over Free Realms.
Every Heart has a Dark Side
Watch out for the dark side of the festival! When Rylan and Arianna’s flower blooms, a dark creature lurks nearby called Stone Heart. Stone Heart has no love and sees the festival as an insult. He will try to crush as much of the special magic as he can so others will be as lonely as he is. Stone Heart is joined by several Heartbreakers who also want to ruin the festival.
Getting to the Festival
To get to the Festival of Hearts, simply use the Merry Vale Warpstone and speak to any of the residents that have the special Festival of Hearts logo above their head. They will help you join the celebration.
What are you waiting for? Go join the fun at the Festival of Hearts!
