These events take place within the cities themselves and not just out in the wilds around them, correct?
So, on pvp servers players will only be able to really participate in the events taking place in their factions cities. This allows Freeporters the ability to partcipate in this event 3 out of every 5 months with little to no worry; while, this only allows Qeynosians the ability to participate in 2 out of every 5 months. Gorowyn is not considered a neutral city in pvp.
Am I understanding this is the way it is being run or have I missed something?
No, that's incorrect. They are not inside the cities, with the exception of Gorowyn, whose guards don't object to anybody of either alignment.
The Far Seas merchants aren't going to wheel entire caravans into the city and block up the streets, so they have set up their festival market area outside the city gates where possible. It should be safe for players of any alignment to visit the festivals in all cities, although admittedly PvP players will find an additional level of hazard, but that will come from other players, not NPCs...
The Qeynos festival currently on Test server is in Antonica, in front of the North Qeynos gate (out of range of guards), where the path branches.
The Freeport festival is along the path between the Crossroads and the Freeport griffon tower.
The Kelethin festival is on the grassy hill down the ramp from Kelethin, where the stables are.
The Neriak festival is in the grassy area between Neriak and the chasm. This is probably the most roundabout to get to as lower level good players will need to run around the edge of the chasm to avoid the bridge guards, but it's definitely not hard if you want to.
The Gorowyn festival is on the lowest level of Gorowyn, in the cave just up from the dock. This is admittedly going to be the riskiest for PvPers, but if you want to mount a festival invasion raid force and try it, there's nothing to stop you.
There IS a purple shiny collection within each city and it will be problematic for those unwelcome in those cities to collect those, but the collections and rewards are completely equivalent, and anyway the shinies are fully tradeable if you really don't believe me on that.
