Port Nyanzaru, Deepwater Alley.

It only took a single day for the worshippers of the Goddess of Joy to complete a small altar.

Most of these worshippers were quite attractive, and many performers possessed a certain level of good looks. At that moment, these worshippers were holding the final important ritual, where a pair of beautiful human maidens picked up two weapons and dropped them onto the ground. Then, under the guidance of the cleric, the surrounding worshippers covered them with a pile of fresh flowers, completely burying both weapons beneath them. This ritual was called Discarding Violence, which also represented the code of conduct of the Goddess of Joy; this deity did not like fighting.

Next, the worshippers began preparing for the celebration.

As mentioned earlier, the Goddess of Joy was a slightly goofy deity, and similarly, those who believed in and served her were also a bit goofy. Within the Church of the Goddess of Joy, almost every holiday unrelated to evil faiths was a reason for the church to hold a celebration. In other words, they could always find a reason to hold various celebrations brimming with joyful atmospheres, and as for exactly how many people would attend, that was not something they could decide.

The arrival of the Goddess of Joy added a hint of vitality to Port Nyanzaru.

However, Soren always maintained strict limits on deities. He did not object to people liking and worshipping the Goddess of Joy, but he would absolutely not allow this kind of hedonism—which threw celebrations for no reason—to run rampant in Port Nyanzaru. Therefore, the entire ritual process consisted only of internal members of the church, along with a small fraction of commoners from Port Nyanzaru who favored hedonism.

Flowers, fine wine, music, dance.

A simple celebration quickly began.
