Greetings, Adventurers!
The Time of Awakening has arrived. Springtide Bloom calls its children to share an ancient secret capable of granting true freedom. Help the enigmatic Bloom Herald unravel the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom on April 26 through May 23 and collect Springtide's fertile bounty of event-specific rewards. Harvest with caution, as swarms of vile Wispy Wasps guard the blooms with fury!
Truth Seekers must be level 25 or higher to embark upon the quest for enlightenment. Springtide Villages are located in Monarch's Bluff, Everfall, Brightwood, and Weavers Fen.
Lore
"I hear them," she murmured. "They're calling."
Hashiki Kimani was alone deep within the forest, surround by the stillness of nature, and yet she tread with purpose, her attention fixated on some unheard sound. Distant gleeful laughter — Or was it singing? — filled her head.
“Yes, I am here!” she replied to the silence, arms open in embrace. “I am… home!”
She turned about, enraptured by sights only conjurable by the imagination, spinning atop the damp grass as if she were a lost child suddenly found. Lights twinkled in her eyes, like dancing fireflies, but no such light reflected back out into the night - only the pale glow of the silver moon illuminated her unescorted waltz.
“Thank you, thank you!” she cried, “Yes, I’ve longed to see you all, as well.”
Hashiki’s head turned as she spoke, her attention drawn to many directions at once. “Of course! …Oh? Truly? That’s wonderful news! When? …But that’s so sudden. So much has happened as of late. …Yes, I agree entirely. But will they be prepared in time? …Oh! I am honored beyond words. Yes, yes, however I can be of aid!”
She nodded attentively, absorbing all that she could, assuring with the utmost certainty her devotion to this most gratifying new mission that remained secret to all but herself.
“And yet to leave you so soon,” she sighed, then warmly knelt to the earth, her head bowed in dutiful reverence. There she remained, for many a moment, before rising suddenly, changed.
“I will inform the people of Aeternum,” said the Bloom Herald. “I will shepherd those who seek the Truth. I will assemble your Children of the Bloom. Of this and my love, you have my undying pledge.”
With long strides, she departed the forest and set for town. When dawn finally blossomed over the horizon, many locals and travelers bore witness to the salient Bloom Herald, decorated with otherworldly gifts from her beloved Folk, singing and chanting, "They're here! They've come!"
