Festive dressing of the Kalevala folk

Added 2018-01-16 11:30:33 +0000 UTC

Helloo! Long time no see. Here's our Tistow Cameo Anna in her YIH appearance, dressing a little bit differently from how we usually see any characters throughout Kalevala. And there's a reason for that. :3

We'll start creeping closer to a major event of the story, which is the Harvest Festival Season, "Sadonkorjuun Tanssit". (Translates to "Harvesting Dance")

This festival is an event of a few days. The preparations for the festival start alongside harvesting, and the main festivities reside in the capital, Valkeala.

The festival begins with a dock-wide market which is an enormous hustle. Countless amounts of items get traded, families meet and new couples establish, and this is how it goes for a few days.

The second half of the festival is mainly about eating, drinking, mingling and dancing throughout the night. It's a busy time for officers to deal with petty crime and fights, and the girls get to frolic in their prettiest, flirtiest and colourful getup. No doubt the young men find this extraordinarily exciting.

This time will also serve as a turning point of the story, and I can't wait to get to draw it~
