===Summer, 2nd Atysian Cycle, Jena Year 2552===
The Matis chamber of [[Nobles]] decided on their plans for a diplomatic gift to the [[Awakened]] in a meeting with Duke Rodi di Varello on the first day of Floris, in the second cycle of Jena Year 2552.

The call for [[florist]]s to collect the bouquets for the gift went out a few days later.

Attention florists of the Verdant Heights! Your flower bundling expertise is needed as the Nobles wish to present the newly Awakened with an aromatic gift of fragrant forest flowers. The Nobles desire the following for their gift.

In addition, Maintenance Certificates will be needed to preserve each bundle for travel. A regular certificate will preserve one bouquet and an improved certificate will preserve 4 bouquets.

The Assistant Botanist will be stationed outside the Master Florist's building to collect the bouquets and certificates at irregular intervals.

===Autumn, 2nd Atysian Cycle, Jena Year 2552===
A [[Taliari]] assembly was held on the last day of Harvestor in that cycle, so the [[Nobles]] attended to ask for permission for their caravan to move through [[Aeden Aqueous]] on it's way to the [[Witherings]]. This issue was politically sensitive as the Nobles had previously refused a Tryker caravan to move trough the Verdant Heights.

However, the Taliari decided after much debate that nobody would benefit if refusing passage became the norm, so gave the Nobles permission to move their caravan through Aeden Aqueous in return for a token apology.

===Spring, 3rd Atysian Cycle, Jena Year 2552===
Atys passed into a new cycle while flower collections were still ongoing, however the caravan would have to be soon.

The [[Awakened]] had their very first assembly since the [[Awakening]] on Quarta, Winderly 10 of this cycle. At this meeting, 4 new Zoraï Initiates were given the status of Awakened, bringing the total number of newly Awakened to 5. The Awakened then decided they would not only receive the caravan, but would personally join in escorting it from [[Yrkanis]].

With the final bureaucratic hurdles cleared, the Nobles and Awakened decided on the final date for the caravan to be exactly 4 months later, on Medis 10, in the middle of summer.

= Main Event =
:''This part of the event started at 19:00 GMT, Saturday, 18 September, 2010.''
The caravan left [[Yrkanis]] as scheduled, escorted by the Nobles, the Awakened, and several volunteers. To run the actual caravan, the Nobles had hired a trio of Matis famous for their packer caravans. During the first safe part of the journey, they entertained their escorts with constant bickering amongst eachother, to the annoyance of some and the amusement of others.

As the caravan and escort crossed into the more dangerous [[Heretics Hovel]], it became clear that the scent of the flowers attracted predators and [[kitin]] even from up to a hundred meter away. This made it impossible to move around the predators' hunting grounds as travellers usually would, and the escort had to cut a swath of death through Heretics Hovel.

This pattern continued after they crossed the border into [[Lagoons of Loria]], and the [[kitin]] there were an even greater challenge to the escort. After many close battles they finally made it to [[Avendale]], almost running in with a horde of kitins still on their tail. Fortunately they could then take a breather as the next leg of the journey was a long swim through the safe waters of [[Liberty Lake]].

Climbing back out of the Prime Roots, the caravan was greeted at the border by Zoraï Sage Chan Ji-Cian. He requested that now that the caravan was passing into Zoraï lands, an Awakened would take the lead. The Nobles handed over the lead and the rest of the journey to the outpost proceeded quickly and smoothly.

At the outpost, the Nobles handed the bouquets over to the Awakened in a small ceremony. A group picture was taken, and fireworks were set off to celebrate. The celebrations lasted for a little longer after that as the assembled homins trickled back homewards.

 The caravan left [[Yrkanis]] as scheduled, escorted by the [[Nobles]], the [[Awakened]], and several volunteers.

 Fortunately they could then take a breather as the next leg of the journey was a long swim through the safe waters of [[Liberty Lake]].

Though not particularly dangerous, there were so many of them it took the caravan a long time to get through. The underground [[Trench of Trials]] was almost easy to navigate in comparison, though there also the scent of the flowers attracted all nasties in the vicinity.
 Climbing back out of the [[Prime Roots]], the caravan was greeted at the border by Zoraï Sage Chan Ji-Cian.

 Unfortunately the Floris bouquets had not survived the journey, as not enough maintenance certificates had been gathered to preserve them.

A group picture was taken, and fireworks were set off to celebrate. The celebrations lingered a while after that as some homins had to return home immediately and others staid a little longer to party.
