Planan, the Second Month
Nave by AuthorChase on Heroforge
Planan, the month of spring planting. Nave created the tradition of spring when crops and other plants would be sown into the soil. However, Frosthalla didn't take part because it is impossible for crops to grow in the region.
Magick Glades organized the entire month all across Astnyr. Magick Glades deployed Life Druids to every settlement to assist in the planting. This did not stop Life Druids from visiting Frosthalla to assist with livestock care. They learned more about the Frost Giant city every year, delighting in their wisdom. Nave made sure every settlement was prospering before the summer came to have a good harvest in the autumn.

The second trials of knowledge happened in the second week of Triaun. Scholars and Mentors of Hystoria tested their knowledge in trivia battles, with Knowler as the judge. Lunarius joined in the judging until the Great War, relishing all the subjects he learned during the month from others.
The third trials of crafting happened in the last week of Triaun. During their collaboration, the members of the Crafter's Guild managed to create a magnificent masterpiece in Ironhammer. The creation had to complement each profession's skills. This represented Astnyr's unity and happiness. The more glamourous the craft, the happier citizens were.
