The Crystal Rose Festival welcomes all who believe in its dream of a peaceful tomorrow, though many have grown disenchanted with the whole affair. Those who make up the Withered Rose wish to see it come to an end. But no one is immune to the festival's charm; perhaps they too will be swept away by the evening's beauty and have a change of heart.

Withered Rose Elise

This chroma was released as an exclusive drop from The Sanctum.

Elise is in attendance at every annual gala, despite never once receiving a formal invitation. Rumor has it she's been blacklisted for spinning webs of lies, forming and disbanding allegiances in the span of a single evening. Attendees have also noted her suitors never seem to make a return visit to the festival.

Withered Rose Syndra

Syndra has been shunned from the festival for years over her support of the disgraced Zed. Unable to bear this slight any longer, she is determined to infiltrate the event and poison the very heart of the Crystal Rose itself with her sweetly dripping ichor.

Withered Rose Talon

After the alliance his adopted sister Katarina formed at the last festival was broken, Talon swore revenge. He intends to restore their family's honor by exposing and shattering the entire concept of this celebration of glittering finery and sacred vows. Nothing and no one at this year's festival will escape his wrath.

Withered Rose Zeri

Zeri's not one for the backstabbing schemes at the Festival of the Crystal Rose. She'd rather take action than formulate some complicated plan; and that's why partygoers will never suspect that this year, she's got one: Crash the party in the name of the rejects! No one—not even a dashing, would-be rival—will see her coming.

In a world of frequently-broken magical alliances and centuries-old grudges, the annual Crystal Rose Festival offers a neutral ground for the powerful to forgive slights and renegotiate truces. Weapons are ostensibly left at the door, and potential new pacts are signaled by picking and wearing the magical roses that grow only during the festival.
