Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a significant holiday commemorating the conclusion of the Draconian War. It also serves as a day of remembrance for the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in battle. Throughout Azlov, the Dragonguard typically leads the observance of this day, but it is particularly celebrated with great fervor in the cities of Eldrya and Duskfire Village.   Over time, the commemoration during the holiday has expanded to honor the memory of all soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in various conflicts, extending beyond just the Draconian War.

History

On the day following their hard-fought victory over the Wyrm of Chaos and the conclusion of the Draconian War, the valiant Dragonguard, joined by their esteemed Ancient Dragonkin allies, set aside the day for rest and solemn remembrance to honor the fallen heroes who had bravely fought in the intense battle.   Despite the fact that the formidable Wyrm of Chaos had been successfully captured and brought under control, he displayed his reverence by willingly taking part in honoring his allies. The following day, he was escorted to the unforgiving frozen desert of Frostcrest, where he was securely imprisoned, ensuring that he posed no further threat.

Participants

In the bustling city of Eldrya, where the illustrious Dragonguard Headquarters is located, the holiday is an unspoken tradition and a matter of great significance. The esteemed council members of the Dragonguard, including their leader, make a ceremonious appearance at the grand parade and participate in the traditional toast at the lively cookout.

Observance

Since it's conception, the holiday serves as both a joyful commemoration of the end of the Draconian War and a solemn day of remembrance for the fallen warriors. It is a widely honored occasion throughout Azlov, particularly within the Dragonguard.   The holiday is usually marked by lively cookouts Additionally, it is a tradition to honor the graves of soldiers by respectfully decorating them with an array of beautiful flowers as a symbol of gratitude and remembrance.   Notably, the vibrant cities of Eldrya and Duskfire Village are known for their remarkable festivities, which typically include lively parades, impressive feasts, and breathtaking firework displays. Residents of Duskfire Village also visit to the site of the decisive battle to pay their respects to the fallen heroes.

I particularly like that the Wyrm of Chaos participated by honoring its allies.
