Holidays
Some holidays across Avaleen are celebrated as they occur locally. These include:
After a million years of silence, Titans began to rise from the elements. They harnessed the arcane essence of the lands to grow their massive forests and bring life into the world. Spirits, nyads, and fey all co-existed with the elemental giants of the first age of Avaleen.
After many years of peace, war broke out between the Titans and the Celestials. For a thousand years this war raged on, destroying the world - splitting the earth into the continents we know today. When peace once more came, the giant forests of old were no more, and neither was those who had tended them. Mesas still exist as remnants.
The construction of Agartha - what is now called old Agartha. A magnificent floating city that represented every achievement the akati and the illevans made while they were still whole. This is also when the gods truly started to take an interest in these people, which eventually led to disagreements, rifts, strife and war.
In the aftermath of the Sundering, diplomats from both Akati and Illeva sit down to try to broker peace. It is a long-drawn-out process during which there are still skirmishes into each other's territories. After fifty years, on the 31st of Wadar, the Accords were signed at last. It was such a monumental occasion for the world as a whole that it was declared the following New Year to be year 0 of a new age. The Age of Arcanum was no more.
Alexandre Kollisi is born in Japhaia.
Farhaven, a rather humble town in the west of Oliria have seen a steady influx of refugees during the war - making it essentially a colony. With several akati establishments nearby and the arrival of Ayursha, the inhabitants quickly saw the advantage of rebranding. The duke of Farhaven met with the Council of Agartha and it was decided that the town be renamed Agartha Nova and thus construction began. In 14 years there was a boom in profit, culture and trade.
At the conclusion of the third trial of the Guardian's Awakening the new Guardians are chosen by Ayursha. In that instance of celebration, Alexandre makes his move and he and his forces invade the city through the Portal.
