With only a few months until the Solstice Festival, preparations are already underway to make it the greatest event in FreePort’s history. Breaking his usual silence, Count Gerald Iseman’s press advisor gave this reply, speaking for the count, “I assure you all that this festival will be unlike any other in FreePort’s history. For such a special occasion, a special surprise is needed. The only thing more I can tell you is to make certain you are able to attend the opening ceremony.”
Though we here at the FreePort Daily Beacon bring you the news first, rumors had already spread through the city that something special is being planned, long before the Count’s announcement. Speculation as to what the ‘surprise’ could be ranges from the absurd to the mundane. Some believe that it is the announcement of the completion of the road to and around the arena. Others think it might have something to do with the railline at the base of the Cliffs of Gent.
What the count actually has waiting behind his back won’t be shown until closer to the festival. And you can be certain that the Beacon will be the first to bring you any developments and the latest updates as they happen.
