Greetings, brave explorers of Nanraas! Have you already prepared some great gifts for your loved ones? You still have a tiny bit of time to take care of pleasant surprises for them! Well, if you’re still in search of a perfect partner for yourself – worry not! Just spend the time with the person you like and feel the most comfortable to be with and, who knows, they might become your ideal love match! Happy Saint Valentine’s Day, folks!
There are several festivities in Nanraas that have similar customs and traditions. All of them are celebrated in Naaikos (spring), for it’s hard to find a more romantic time than the season of the awakening of nature and the first warm rays of Eorin that touch the hearts of every living creature around. The first holiday is called Tio’Rish – the great festivity of family and family life. This festival is usually celebrated by those who have already tied the knot and spent at least one chio’tai in peace and harmony. “Love not only your partner, but your family as a whole” – that’s what wise om’veri say about this holiday. There’s no place for selfishness and egoism in this day – even the most dedicated workaholics take a brake and spend time with their loved ones, children, and the closest relatives. Moreover, all the enterprises and even government institutions give their employees an official holiday.
Parents take their hatchlings and teenlings to amusement parks, camping sites, flight stations and sandy beaches to have as much fun as they can. Also, some special events such as concerts, fire shows, figure flights are held by local authorities and members of different families-oriented organizations. However, single om’veri without families and any intentions to have one in future are allowed to work during Tio’Rish. People call them “Sol’ma’verai” – “lonely souls”. These individuals idolize their careers and put their jobs above all. Sandy, most of them are destined to spend the rest of their lives alone, without any hope to find a partner and start a family.
The second grand holiday is called Tar’Tarish – the festivity of love and friendship. All those who are in love or active seeking a partner prepare small gifts for their loved ones. This holiday is similar to the Saint Valentine’s Day in many ways and its patron is the Aegis of Love – Lan’kir. Despite not being a part of the Great Triumvirate of the Aegises, Lan’kir is worshiped by many young om’veri as the goddess of love, fertility, and family happiness. Tar’Tarish is the ideal day for a declaration of love, love confession and even marriage proposal. The most appreciated gift in this day is the special kind of candy that is made in the shape of egg and filled with a tasty liquor. But remember: such a candy can be given to person with whom you’re good friends or lovers. Otherwise, egg-shaped candy can be considered as mocking, gesture of disrespect and even sign of hostility and bulling. However, the color of such a candy has a very special mean. Thus, white color means friendship, red color is the sign of deep love and appreciation, but black color means that your partner is willing to break up with you.
Will Azaries find her true love during her adventures? Well, it’s all up to you! Our game features several possible romance options and each of them leads whether to a happy-ever-after ending or a total disaster, depending on Azaries’ choices, preferences, and participation in special events. Each character Azaries can enter relationship with has a sequence of special events and personal quests. Also, Azaries’ moral paradigm and attitude towards some particular character impacts her possible romance options. For example, some characters appreciate sentiments and zeal for justice, as well as a number of good deeds done in each city, while the others prefer cold-bloodedness, calculative nature and intentions to gain as much power and wealth as possible. Just remember: pay attention to your party mates and newly encountered characters. They always have something to share with you!
Another amazing feature of our game is the possibility to help some of your party mates to find love and happiness or turn their lives into the disaster. Each character that joins Azaries and her team is a personality with their own stories, desires, intentions and plans for future. From time to time, they will be interacting with each other and Azaries can help them get along well or stimulate the flames of their mutual hatred – everything is up to the player! Each decision made and each dialog option selected brings certain advantages and disadvantages – and always being “a knight in shining armor” is not always the best option.
Thank you very much! See you in Nanraas!
