The Race of Eight Winds

Location: Sharn
The Race of Eight Winds is a sporting event that takes place in the Dura quarter of Sharn on the 23rd day of Lharvion each year. Traditionally, the race features eight riders, each riding a flying beast representing a different area of the Dura quarter, competing on an aerial course through and around the spires of Sharn. The winner of the event receives a gold purse and some land, as well as glory for the area of the Dura quarter they represented. The race is a major cultural touchstone for the Dura quarter and brings in spectators from across Khorvaire.
