The moon and the sun are together, why can't they be as well?
Before reading any further, please keep in mind that I am 100% behind you creating an event to gather RP'ers together to have fun. As such, do please go ahead with this idea and event!
However, I encourage you to consider the flip side to your above comment that I quoted. Either race of the miqo'te hold their respective celestial body in high regard. Imagine, then, if one of said celestial bodies were to move in front of and block the majority of the view of the other celestial body. To me, this would anger the race whose celestial body is being blocked. In this case, with a solar eclipse, it would seem to me that the Seekers would be quite angered, while the Keepers would have fuel to rub in the face of the Seekers.
As a roleplayer of both races(Seeker and Keeper), both of my characters believe that the sun and moon have their own times to grace the skies with their presence. Were one to encroach on the other's time, they would become severely moody... to say the least.
Again, just food for thought. I by no means am trying to say "Don't do this event!" Just another perspective to keep in mind, is all.
A withered, elderly miqo'te lazily lashes his tail as a gaggle of children, the youngest born after the Calamity and the eldest old enough to remember the fall of Ala Mhigo, watch on. All around are a mix of Keepers and Seekers, festivities abound as the old cat plucks a string to get his instrument of choice in tune.
"Isn't it nice to have everyone around, singin' and dancin' and celebratin' like this? Wasn't always like that, you know. Back when our tribes were more, les' say 'territorial,' watchin' the sun block the moon or the moon block the sun was a big deal, bigger 'n we make it now. In those days it was an excuse to go about makin' war, raidin' supplies and general misbehavin'. Downright deplorable of us all.
I know not all'a you kits are one or the other, and I'm sure you've got plenty of disagreements to work out. Your families will, and your whole tribe's got an identity, long long histories carved out and painted in caves in these sands, all over the Sagoli and beyond, in the woods and the mountains and valleys. Lots'a clashin' and fightin' and squabblin' back then over who was favored most. The Lover's gaze was blocked sometimes by the sun, and sometimes she rose triumphant. Back then we'd've looked for any reason to proclaim that we, that our tribe, that our history... That was the best one.
I know you kids don't care much 'bout the history of it, and that's fine! When I was your age I didn't care much either. I just figured ya'd wanna know why this time it's the Seekers hosting our little get together. Nowadays when the Lover slips in front of the sun for a quick hug and a kiss, the Seekers pay their respects by offerin' up their lands and their meals and their songs and games for the Keepers. An' next time, when the Lover is hidden away? Why that'll be time for the Keepers to return the favor. An' on an' on it goes, each of us givin' a little and takin' a little."
His lute properly tuned, the grey cat rises and shoos his audience off to play with each other.
Think I just got an idea for an alt.
Read his dialogue with the narrator from Bastion in mind.
