THE FESTIVITIES
CALL OF THE HUNT
A tradition spanning from the start of it all, a festival of celebrating strength and bravery. Every year, there is a Hunt of dangerous and lethal creatures, and death is not uncommon. The point system is based on how dangerous every creature is, so the more dangerous the creature, the higher the points you get. To the victor goes the spoils. The Call of the Hunt is a 2 week-long festivity that includes the main game, side-quests, and plenty of nights to meet and talk with all kinds of creatures, both from the Isles and outside of them. The borders are open and all are welcome to participate and join the fun. The main event of the Call of the Hunt is where any number of creatures can sign-up to go on main quests to kill or capture dangerous animals. The more dangerous, the more points you get. The person with the highest point gets to ask for anything within reason once they have won. Side events that go on during the main event. These are optional and do not impact the main event. These are for fun and to relax.
EMERALD'S EQUINOX
Emerald, himself, was wiped from history eons ago. The only stories of him are passed down by word of mouth, and are all positive. Every Equinox, Emerald is celebrated for being the First Baron. Huge festival, bigger the Call of the Hunt, as it is a Holy Day. People have feasts at home with family and friends, and you can ask anyone you can to tell you about Emerald's origin story (is it the same as eons ago? or has word of mouth changed it?). Shops and stalls are set up to sell Emerald candy and special trinkets during the Equinox, it's encouraged to go out and celebrate during the day but celebrate at home with family and friends during the night.
SAPPHIRE'S SOLSTICE
Similar to Emerald's Equinox but Sapphire instead. It is about how Sapphire led a charge against the Gods/Goddesses and it let those who live in the Emerald Isles become cursed with crystal growths. The Sapphire Solstice is about warning of the Gods/Goddesses and how they shun certain ones. Of how the curse works. A cautionary night, as it's said you can hear the war cries if you venture out into the night on the Solstices.
CRYSTAL'S LAMENT
The Holy week in the Isles. The week from Jan 1st to Jan 7th. Celebrates the new year, but in a somber tone. Each day is dedicated to a God or Goddess. To pray for them, whether dead or still alive.
