Guild Wars FactionsTM Dragon Festival
June 30, 2006 7:00 GMT – July 5, 2006 7:00 GMT



In the spirit of celebration, adventurers on the continent of Cantha are cordially invited to the Dragon Festival, a summer festival with all the trimmings!

After the destruction wrought by the Jade Wind, the newly crowned Emperor Hanjai (the eldest son of the assassinated emperor) oversaw the settlement of Shing Jea Island and the expansion of Kaineng City. The following summer, Emperor Hanjai dedicated a new Dragon Festival to commemorate the survival of the Empire of the Dragon.

Participants in the Dragon Festival can join in fun carnival-type games (Whack-A-Worm, anyone?), play new mini-missions and special PvP gameplay, undertake unique quests, and collect Asian-flavored treats such as red bean cakes and rice wine. Ceremonial Dragon Masks will be awarded to those players who are able to collect enough globes filled with the Jade Wind essence that changed Cantha two hundred year ago. The conclusion of the Dragon Festival will be marked with surprises true Canthans won't want to miss.

Taking place in and around the Shing Jea Monastery on June 30, 2006 at 7:00 GMT and running through July 5, 2006 at 7:00 GMT, the Dragon Festival is an exclusive weekend event for Guild Wars Factions players.

...exclusive weekend event for Guild Wars Factions players. So I can only get masks for 2 of 6 toons, nice. Gotta love that reward for my continued support. Sure makes me want to buy chapter 3 so my Factions and Prophesies toons can get screwed.

Fates Monk you may not be totally wrong here, assuming that "true Canthans" refers to faction born Chacters. But Who knows.

Run or fight to the Marketplace (due south of KC), then there is a "something" pier (explorable area I cant remember the exact name) that zones off of the Marketplace, there is a guy in that explorable area on the water front that will get you passage to Shig jea Monastery. The Pier area ia explorable but no bad guys. Bukdek Byway between KC and the marketplace has level 20 mobs so unless you can run it, easiest thing to do is fight south with a full group of Henchies, Ive done it with a lvl 11 monk so its do-able

Have fun

South east to the marketplace, then to the dock, Speak with the first mate, he will take you to seitung temple. then head northwest to linnock courtyard, then through the gate to the monestary.

If you dont believe me, go to the island, look around and start wondering what all those Tyrian characters are doing there. And if you read the official update for the Dragon Festival, they also invite Tyrian Characters to join them in the celebrations.
