Hidden deep within the northern mountain ranges in the Neutral lands, the Legion of The Stars is emerging. Hardened by the bitter cold that lives alongside them almost year-round, this group is not to be seen as weak or a pushover. While they're open to religion, the group's focus on the stars is life-long, spurred into life by ancient elders lost to madness. With the rise of a new Legiant, Legiant Sylvest Halstorn, the group plans to extend it's reach into the lands below the mountains.

"Will you, dear stranger, help us on this journey?"

THE TERRITORY

The Legion's territory spans from the mountains to the abandoned farm fields to the south. The CAMP is rather sizable, hidden among the mountains with a waterfall and pond at the center, and the Territory has several old driving trails from humans long past, as well as dangerous pitfalls and undiscovered caves, so watch your step! Waterfall and Behind the water fall!

The pond feeds into a river that flows into our first landmark, The Hidden Lake. It is a large lake hidden under the rock and dirt of the territory. Legion members often fish here, and it is the gathering place for our Summer's Celebration. A wooden walkway lines the edge of the lake, and an opening above allows light and rain to enter. Lake image!

Our second landmark is Wing Rock, toward the northern part of the territory. Surrounded by flat rocks, this rock is shaped like a wing splayed out. This landmark is a gathering spot for people to sunbathe, and is the celebration spot for Family Day. It is a rather steep drop down, so it is heavily advised not to go too close to the edge.

Our third and final landmark (until further notice) is The Sacred Tree. Within the farm fields stands a massive oak tree with unlit lanterns scattered across it's branches. Flowers of varying colors and shapes decorate it's roots, as it is the ceremonial burial tree.

Housing - While the group lives primarily in the mountains, wooden cabins and cottages are scattered across the range, but there are also caves nearby the waterfall that many Legion Members make their homes. Behind the waterfall there is a large space, with caves etched in for High-Ranking Housing. The Legiant's home is a large cave behind the waterfall, decorated with home-made paint.

THE TRADITIONS

The Legion of The Stars holds four celebrations: Summer's Celebration, The Longest Night, The Silver Minnow Ceremony, and Family Day. The Legion also has a few traditions surrounding Winter's Arrival, Burials, and Marriages.

Summer's Celebration
- This takes place of the day and night of the summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year. All of the group congregates at the hidden lake for festivities starting mid-morning, allowing allies who have been invited to arrive at the territory as well. The celebration marks the start of the summer for the Legion, as well as celebrating the litters brought to the group during the winter and spring.
Mini events - Capture the flag, gem collector, sparring
-- Capture the Flag - two teams, two flags, the entire southern shore of the hidden lake. Don't hurt anyone too bad! The winning team recognizes the most active/aggressive flag catcher as the Retriever, who gets the title and a silver bracelet.
-- Gem Collector - Gems are hidden in the sand of the southern shore! Get as many as you can! Winner receives the Excavator title and a golden bracelet. Everyone who participates keeps their gems.
-- Sparring - Keep your skills sharpened by sparring against a group mate or ally! Winner gets the bragging rights!

Winter's Arrival
- This takes place the first day of Winter usually, but could also take place the day the first significant temperature shift happens. The days leading up and following this event are full of stockpiling for the coming winter, as well as some decoration and preparation of fire pits scattered around the territory. There are no awards or mini events during this.

The Longest Night
-  As the event's name states, this event takes place on the night of the winter solstice. In the farm fields a great bonfire is built, and food and drink is provided for everyone, including allies. Depending on the snowfall on the days leading up to this event, mini events may be held.
Mini Events - Snowball fight, Snow castle competition, fireside sparring.
-- Snowball fight! - Throw snowballs at your friends! Be reckless, but don't get too hurt!
-- Snow Castle Competition! - Try to build the best snow castle with a friend!
-- Fireside Sparring! - Spar in the fire light! Don't knock your opponent into the fire, please.

Silver Minnow Ceremony
- This takes place as an initiation for newcomers and youth ready to become apprentices. The aim is to catch a single silver minnow from the camp's waterfall/pond, declare what you wish to accomplish within The Legion, and then release it. Catching and keeping any silver minnow to eat or simply keep is forbidden - newcomers who do this will be denied membership until the next meeting, and youth who do this will be denied apprenticeship until next meeting.


Family Day
- Held to celebrate both mother's and father's day, usually to the end of June, beginning of July. Wing Rock is the gathering place for families on this day, and children are encouraged to give gifts to their family, blood related or not. Many families adopt children on this day.

Burials
- Burials are seen as sacred to the group, and thus all burials are beneath the sacred tree. Lanterns are hung during burials and will continue giving light until they die out.

Marriages
- Marriages were implemented by Lorelei, seeing that they weren't touched up on in the past. The Location of a marriage is decided by the spouses, and the entire group is encouraged to attend the marriage.
