Festival of the Stars 2025

Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by ccbestiary

Long ago, or maybe just yesterday, a tiny star pipped. Out hatched a black and white wyrm, her scales shimmering with the light of the skies. She wandered the world, watching it from the stars, seeing all the amazing life below her. She especially loved the lovers. Watching two dragons become soul mates and make little eggs that became hatchlings that were nearly as cute as her that grew up and found their heart with someone new again that went on to make new eggs and then–it was all so much fun! She adored the little gifts that everyone under the sky could afford. Eventually, just watching was not enough. It was time for her to do something! She mustered all her powers and began a devious plan.

Elsewhere, or maybe right around there, Luna checked their bag and found it empty of all silver tickets. They gasped and went on a hunt to find them right away. Apollo calmly checked the ledgers of their store and found the registers all cleared. Not a single silver ticket was in sight. The silver tickets were all spirited away!

Introducing…Stella! After guarding the skies for a while, she decided to descend and join in the fun! She’s giving out silver tickets whenever she sees a scene that warms her heart. Hopefully Luna does not catch her before the event ends! To enter, draw gift art of someone else’s dragon with one of the following themes (no repeats). The Festival lasts until March 3rd at 11:59:59 PM. Once you complete the event, scroll down to learn about the victory lap!

Themes:

  1. Confection
  2. Love Letter
  3. Secret Admirer
  4. Cupid
  5. Kiss
  6. Date Night
  7. Drama
  8. Love at First Sight
  9. Confession
  10. Tsundere
  11. Tough Love
  12. Hearts
  13. Love Birds
  14. Dress Up
  15. Devotion

Each prompt gives 1 Silver Ticket per gifted dragon. You may include up to three different dragons per gift (for a maximum of 3 silver tickets per piece). Each prompt will come with Love Bird Tracking Tools. If you complete all 15 themes, you may receive a trait Blessing of choice (from any existing rarity). If you do not complete them all, you still keep the prizes earned along the way! 

Click Here to Turn in Your Prompts

Fill out the following form in the notes area:

Prompt:
Buffs:

Attach ALL characters in the piece to this prompt submission so we can check their gift art rules and give out EXP.

Rules:

  • All prompts must be turned in before the deadline (March 3rd at 11:59:59 PM) .
  • The same dragon may not be used more than once to gain a Silver Ticket.
  • Link to characters used in the description and on the prompt turn-in.
  • You may use tickets from past events to gain prizes. Tickets may not be traded, sold, or gifted
  • Only the artist(s) of an image will receive the prizes.
  • Gifts must follow gift art rules. You can check dragons with open gift art HERE and open gift writing HERE. If you are unsure of drawing strange dragons in romantic situations, additional permissions are below! Feel free to add your ships or off-limit dragons to a comment on this page.
  • Gifts must be of dragons; While including Riders is always good, they do not count towards prizes.
  • Art images must have a full body dragon, coloring, shading, and a background. All traits of the dragon must be clearly visible. Art must be fully rendered and not rushed. 
  • Written entries have a minimum of 600 words. If three dragons are depicted, this goes up to 900. The focus of the story should be the giftee's dragon(s). 
  • Collaborations are allowed, but requirements are doubled (two guest dragons for art, double word count for writing). Additionally, the gift must be for a player that is not an artist of a piece.
  • You may only get the reward for a prompt once until you are on the victory lap.
  • You may choose to depict different Emissaries instead of giving gift art, if desired.
  • All dragon elements receive 2 Event EXP in each event entry. If a dragon in the gift has access to a calendar, they get an additional +2 EXP. If a dragon has access to a Party Parrot, they get an additional +2 EXP. These bonuses stack if multiple are present.
  • You can’t receive any sort of compensation for a gift. It should not be part of an art payment, trade, entry for a giftee’s contest, or anything similar.
  • Art from the main event cannot be used for other types of rolls in the game, such as Adventures or Affiliation Quests.

Festival Victory Lap

Once you've completed the rest of the event, you can continue earning tickets by giving out gift art. For each piece of gift art, you will receive 1 Silver Ticket (up to 3 per entry). Victory Lap gift art may be combined with activities, as long as the giftee dragon does not claim an activity.

Victory Lap Rules:

  • The same dragon may not be used more than once to gain a Silver Ticket.
  • To prevent accidental double dipping, please put a description of who is doing what in any art pieces that will have tickets claimed.
  • Illustration rules follow the same requirements as the main event.
  • Written requirements follow the same rules as the main event unless a character is turning in an activity. In that case, it is the base required word count +300 words.
  • Only dragons that have their prompt labelled as Event will get the event bonus or Party Parrot perks.

You may spend your tickets at Apollo's Wares.

none of my dragons are off-limits for this festival as none of them are currently in exclusive relationships! but i have some recommendations (if you want to know more about them or any of my dragons, my DMs are always open!):

Hydrangea: https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1142 | friendly, flirty, warm. a romantic at heart. don't expect her to pursue you; she needs to be courted.
Plum: https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-239 | himbo. strong and kind and not very bright, but he'd do anything for you. don't discount the wind elemental; he will do courtship dances and songs and make a fool of himself just to make his romantic interest smile.
Chrysomallos: https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1051 | a gentleman who knows what he wants. proud of himself, sees the best in who he's courting, pulls out all the stops to make them feel properly adored.
Cupcake: https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-935 | her bark is worse than her bite, but expect a lot of barking. sees her romantic interests as rivals in a way and wants to best them, but also wants to be bested by them to prove they're worthy. teasing, taunting, but when she's sweet, she's sweet. perfect for the tsundere prompt.

and i have a few ships :3c

Keshet x Magpyr (with permission) | https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-65 x https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1215
Keshet x Arenig | https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-65 x https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1049
Casziel x Dracul | https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1197 x https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1067

Any of the dragons below may be paired with anyone applicable. The header’s refer to the dragon’s general approaches to romance. I don’t have many canon ships at this time. Ask for any info as desired!

Incorrigible Flirts:

Igni
https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1008

Revenant
https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1377


Prefer chill company:

Frory

Phantom
https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1316

https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1191

Sorrel
https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1076

Merlin

The quickest way to their heart is fighting them (can be won over with sufficient deference):

Flamekeeper
https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-1214

Nightmare
https://www.chronocompass.com/character/ED-752

Spoiling them is mandatory. They do think they’re better than you:
