Your three day journey at sea finally comes to a welcome conclusion with a slight jolt as the ferry anchors to the Canden dock. You take a deep breath and smile, ready to get your much needed vacation underway. As you step onto the well-trodden dock, floorboards softly creek to greet you, your senses met with a delightful mix of salty sea breeze and the sweet fragrance of Azure Blooms filling the air. Looking around, you see the dock teeming with life; fellow festival-goers in vivid attire, musicians strumming lively tunes that make your heart beat faster, and artisans displaying their crafts and culinary delights. The main street is just ahead, lined with fluttering banners and soft lanterns that guide you toward the heart of the festivities.

A spirited, silky voice suddenly pulls you from your sensory daze. "Ahoy there! Fresh off the ferry, I see! A visitor from Calburrow? Or Glimmervale, perhaps? Welcome to Canden, the city where every day is a celebration, especially today with our Azure Bloom Festival in full swing. I’m Bella Corbin, your guide and local enthusiast."

You inspect the young woman for a moment. She has flowing brown hair and sparkling emerald eyes, her body adorned in a vibrant festival dress splashed with colorful patterns that mimic the Azure Blooms themselves. Speaking of which, you notice one of the stunning flowers tucked into her hair, its brilliant azure petals standing out against the lively backdrop of the city.

She gives you a moment more to soak in the ambiance of your surroundings before continuing. "Canden is alive with joy and tradition today, and I'm thrilled to share it all with you. From tasting our famed honey-glazed pastries that melt in your mouth to exploring stalls brimming with handmade souvenirs, there is so much to see. As we stroll around, I’ll fill you in on the stories and traditions that make our city so special. Ready to dive into the festive spirit and create some unforgettable memories?
