Tending the Flames

---

Across Azeroth, brilliant bonfires have been lit to rekindle the spirits of its celebrants and ward off ancient evils. Every year one person is chosen to guard the sacred flames and ensure that they are never extinguished. Called "flamekeepers," these chosen few call on the aid of brave adventurers to traverse the land and journey into the dark recesses of Azeroth's dungeons at their behest. It is rumoured too that those few who are willing to brave the terrors placed before them, may be rewarded for their efforts through the myriad powers of the flames.

Dancing Around the Ribbon Pole

---

At every festival camp, one of these traditional decorations stands tall beside the bonfire. Take up one of the multi-colored ribbons and dance around the pole with your friends and fellow celebrants! Although traditionally a focus for the joyous celebrations, even the most seasoned veteran will appreciate the resulting resistance to heat!

By Fire Be Blessed!

---

The massive bonfires are more than mere lights across the land. Touching any one of these firepits will cleanse an individual of nearly all ailments for the price of a few singed fingers. And if you've been lucky enough to find some burning blossoms, toss them into the fire! The resulting flare will bless you - and perhaps the entire area - with greater prowess on the field!

Fire in the Sky

---

The lengthy Midsummer Fire Festival traditionally ends with the sky itself being set alight. The goblins of Undermine have lent their considerable skill (and copious amounts of gunpowder) to the task, resulting in a tremendous fireworks show! Take up a festival mug and raise a toast to the season as the multicolored explosions dance across the sky above you!
