For one week every summer, this bay explodes with brilliant colors. In spring, massive schools of fish migrate into The Deepshimmer to spawn. At the end of the season, their bodies erupt into luminescence shining as bright as the aurora.
This display attracts crowds of foreign visitors. Festival sites and markets dot the shore, and the last week of spring has become a rare time of communion between nomadic Orians and the citizens of its lodges. To sell to the festival’s attendees, Arnerian gem traders make the long journey to its otherwise desolate landscape. The surrounding region has a thriving population of desert foxes whose ancestors fell in love with the snow and never left.
