Holidays

Ara'Avalia

The largest festival of the year in Aurumo, known as the "Week of Lights," and "Celebration of Knowledge over Ignorance." It is marked by a family setting up a Shrine outside their house, with six unlit lanterns to light the streets and shrines for others to see.
During this week libraries and places of knowledge like schools open their halls to the populace to explore and learn, instead of needing approval or a permit. Religious sites become places of lore and history, where the clergy tell stories and share discoveries with people across their local landscape.
The celebration is marked by 6 days of celebration, starting on Saysday and ending on Valsday.
