Exit the WEST GATE. Turn left along the COBBLED ROAD. You will pass the COMPANY OF THE FOX ENCAMPMENT.
Continue SOUTH along this road.
Turn RIGHT when you see the dirt cart-track. You will find yourself in the Domaines de la Vie Éclairée.

White Day: September 23 (Dementlieu, Richemulot, Mordent, Necropolis). White Day is the counterpart to Rose Day (see March 9). On White Day, it is young ladies who are to present young men with gifts. As with Rose Day, it is considered unlucky for a woman not to give a gift, or for a young man not to receive one. As before, it is believed to be unlucky for a man to give a woman a gift of White Day. A box of white candies is considered an especially lucky gift. Further, on White Day, it is traditional to decorate the door and window-frames of one’s home with white streamers. As with Rose Day, many communities hold evening dances to celebrate this holiday. White Day is particularly popular in Dementlieu, where the Masque de Couer, a prominent yearly masquerade, is held.

With an hour to go before the party, peasants have already begun congregating on the beach to pick at the food and alcohol before it's all gone...
