Next up in the inter-island Winter Nights exchange would be Milos and Navarro! These two islands know how to have a good time, so they've sent over information on how to play various
games and activities. Let's honor these two cultures by dressing up as inhabitants from the island! You don't have to show them celebrating Winter Nights, but it might be worth your time to try!
Choose
one island from the following:
Milos
An island near Gwydion, Milos is known for its pastoral pleasures. When they work - they work
hard. And when they play - they play just as hard! (Especially the satyrs, who don't so much "work" as get very good at avoiding it.) Milos is known for its population of fauns and satyrs. Other creatures also live there, but humans would make up the largest sub-group after the fauns. They're known for their exports of wine, pottery, and cheeses. In real-world terms, Greek and Roman influences are strong, though pulling from like-minded cultures will give it that rustic homeyness it needs.
Requirements: For this entry, you need
horns for your avatar. Please also represent at least one of the major
Milos exports. (It would help to mention where you're going with the export theme in your text description, just to make sure we're on the same page! Not necessary if it's obvious, of course.)
Navarro
Howdy, everyone! Welcome to Navarro! If you've listened to D (Hopscotch) or Mango (Lingerie Land), you've probably heard quite a bit about it already. Navarro is an arid island somewhere between Merkhet and the Mainland. Not entirely desert, of course, but imagine it as somewhere between the US Southwest, Midwest, and even parts of the Southern US. The island is known for its livestock, its oil, and the bright lights of Live Oak. Chance is played in any number of casinos in Live Oak - it seems the citizens just can't resist trying their luck, even if they just stick to friendly game without stakes. They seem to bet on just about anything - from their famous horse-races, to the number of spots on the next calf to be birthed, to the color of the sky over the prairies in the morning, so when you hang out with them, expect that eventually your new friend will turn to you and ask, "Wanna bet?"
Requirements: For this entry, you need to include
leather and
gold. You also need
boots.
