Festival of Winter Nights usually goes on about a week here in Menewsha. It's exactly like what it's called, a festival celebrating the winter season. As for the unique theme an event usually has, that will be revealed when the event starts later. :D

If you're still wondering and would like to see how the past years's events were run, check out the Event Archive. They're all stored there.

Ling: Oh, you don't have to worry about that, it doesn't really matter to me whichever you use so long as it's constant throughout the whole entry.

I use British English myself because it's what I was taught in school but I grew up surrounded by American media, so I sometimes slip into either usage without realising.
