The Festival of Renewal
When the books from the Dread King's Spire were brought to A'mlon to have a new, safer home within their college a rather strange thing happened. Every book lost their dark colouration and took on a golden cover instead with the pages suddenly looking renewed and saved. Many of the individuals in A'mlon saw this as proof that Erathis and Correllon had returned to the city to save the knowledge in the newly found Alturis.
After this event, every year on the 15th of Prost-Grey, just before winter begins to set in, the sun would shine for the next 24 hours in an exaggerated solstice. During this time the city of A'mlon would come together with a festival spanning the whole city. It is also the only day in the year that the Spire of Knowledge is open for all and the librarians reveal the spire of knowledge's forbidden section in a series of magical display cases that depict the powerful items found in the dread king's spire, legendary artefacts from the now dead true heroes and books deemed too dangerous and corrupting for the public's eyes.
The rest of the festival consists of games, drinking, eating and entertainment for all stratas of society, all races and it is often one of the largest festivals that attract party goers...
Finally, in the last 2 hours of the event known as the True Knight event. A series of games and challenges devoted to showing the truly knightly amongst the rabble of A'mlon. With events like the armours catwalk, jousting, horse racing, battle re-enactment and fencing as well as a final etiquette showdown it is truly the most entertainment A'mlon gets... for better or worse. With the winner crowned the knight of A'mlon and receiving a VERY hefty pay purse in reward.
