Dragondown Event & Summer Queen Celebration! — Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms News

It's the Summer Solstice in Faerûn, which means it is time for Dragondown and the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration!

While the City of Waterdeep celebrates Dragondown by burning dragon effigies to symbolize the city's victories over invading dragons, some smaller celebrations focus on ceremonial bonfires and charms, with mock-spells and chanted prayers performed as the sun sets.

But something has gone wrong in Luskan this year, where locals have drawn the ire of a Bronze Dragon and its kin...

Trixie the Pixie, a long-time antagonist to the Champions, often appearing astride a charmed creature and always up to some mischief, finally chooses the winning side and joins the Champions in today's Dragondown Event! Our second Featured Champion, Brother Uriah, will be receiving a significant update, with a new Champion Update blog coming on Friday, June 5th, before his launch next Wednesday, June 10th.

For details on Dragondown Year 9, and the Court of the Summer Queen Celebration, read on!

Featured Champions

Trixie

Trixie the Pixie has been a forgettable nuisance for the Champions for a long time, often appearing astride some charmed creature and always up to some mischief. Ambitious and daring, Trixie desperately grasps at a life larger than she's been given, and blames the Champions for their constant meddling in her affairs. Driven to desperation by her many failed attempts at seizing power and influence, Trixie sets out to try a new scheme. She's seen firsthand that the Champions are always hiring. If she can't beat them, she'll join them!

Learn more about Trixie in her Champion Spotlight.

Brother Uriah

Brother Uriah Macawber is a native of Ravenloft, born in the dread domain of Darkon under the iron rule of Azalin Rex. After a horrifying childhood encounter at the Carnival with the demonic entity known as The Caller, Uriah would embrace the worship of the goddess Ezra, Lady of the Mists, offering protection from the forces of darkness to all those in need. Upon joining with the other future members of The Black Dice Society at the infamous House of Lament, Uriah would go on to find true love with his teammate, the undead Aasimar, Nahara... and would eventually discover the dark truth of both the nature of his deity and his mysterious connection to his former liege, the lich-king Azalin Rex.
