Essun’tel

Every year, the Xukuthians have a special festival called the Essun’tel where they gather on the surface to watch the sun rise for the summer solstice. It is in remembrance of Zorya and her victory, as well as the end of   Xukuth's colonial era.
During the week leading up to Essun’tel, many families will put up a slightly glowing sun ornament in their homes, and decorate with sun-related ornaments and colours.
