[✨💎☀️🌈] ★ EVENT PROMPT || Soar across the city skies in the sol roc relay ★

★ About

Races performed while riding a sol roc are commonplace in Harara, and the largest of these races are held at this time each year. Many local Hararans train for many years to build a bond with their sol roc and work hard in preparation for the relay and there are many families and guilds who pride themself on their sol roc accomplishments, and rivalries are commonplace.

However, anyone is allowed to participate this year! The king himself has opened his stables to allow newcomers the chance to ride one of his many sol rocs for those who may not have one.

Sol rocs are massive, intelligent birds that are often used as traveling mounts by many people in Harara. There are two types, one being the more grounded species that is used as a work animal, and the other more sleek and popular for flying and as pets. They come in many colorations and can have any sort of pattern you could imagine. There are many who will seek out a sol roc that matches their personal aesthetic!

High above the city in the ancient forest tower, racers sit upon their chosen mount waiting on stone launch pads placed just within the building with large archways leading out into the sky. A crowd of people who were lucky enough to have claimed spots so close to the start of the race eagerly await the sound of fireworks, a sure signal that the race has has begun.

★ Prompt

Draw or write about your character riding on the back of a Sol Roc and participating in the race.

What happens while they're racing? Do they win this round with their skill and experience, or do they find themself fumbling, unfamiliar with riding a flying beast.

✦✦✦

✦ The sol roc relay is a team-based event with three members and three sol rocs to each team and many teams flying all at once! The race is split up into three section with one racer on each team completing each part, it's recommended you volunteer for the section your sol roc is best at. At each flagged spot the rider will be expected to hand off a flag to their waiting team member.

Speed --> The shortest part of the race. Who can fly launch from the starting place within the forest tower and reach the next pass the fastest? Soar with blinding speed over the forest, beach, and ocean! This part ends when the rider passes their banner while airborne above the lone submerged pyramid. A ring of magical light suspended in the air marks the general area where the pass takes place.

Endurance --> The longest part of the race. A scenic route over the forests and river on the outskirts of Harara. The rider and sol roc have to make it all the way around the outer wall and curve back into the city where they'll then head towards the densest part of the city to pass off the banner to a waiting team member at the top of the port spire.

Skill --> A moderate length section. The rider will be swerving through rings dotted around an obstacle course of dense city streets packed with buildings, star ships, and flying vehicles. Sharp turns, sudden stops, and precision are needed to make it through without issue.

The race is finished when the final racer reaches the goal, a large platform on the top of the forest tower.

✦ Fans of the race are dotted around, from the starting area, to the beaches, to the city walls, and finally there are many audience members cheering from the finish line!
