2024 Summer Preparations: Raven King and Moonrabbits

May is a busy time for Dragon's Eye Adventures, as summer mysteries come into better focus. The research through books and Internet shifts to the construction of magical artifacts and characters that the Detectives will meet. Here is a glimpse of two of the projects that are underway.

Dun Raven Fair (Session II) is a four-day adventure taking place from July 1-3 and 5. The detectives will visit a goblin fair in Dun Raven, Wales, to trade for magical artifacts with the merchants at the fair. Here is a link for more information about the story.

Here is the Raven King, who rules over the fair from the ghostly ruin of an old castle. He is a shapeshifting master of all magics and ruler of the twilight realms. Past detectives have met with the Raven King, who is fond of a magical cup of tea.

Our detectives will meet teacup trolls, Tomtes, fairies, goblins, fire-juggling skeletons and all kinds of other magical beings at the fair. We will be making and trading artifacts with the merchants at the fair, so this will be a very special week.

 


 The Moonrabbits (Session IV) is a five-day adventure taking place from July 15-19, 2024. The team will undertake a search for the twelve missing moon daughters of Chinese mythology. Here is a link to that story.

Making twelve main characters takes a bit of work, so I have been making one or two a day. The detectives will make their own Moonrabbit during the week -- so we should have a wonderful shot of all of those chaotic rabbits by the end of our week -- assuming we can get them to hold still for the photo!

The Dragon's Eye Adventures Facebook page will have a few more shots of the Raven King and the Moonrabbits. Visit that here.
