The Festival of Lights
The Festival of Lights is an Everlandian celebration that takes place on the last week of December [unclear how this fits with Everlandian calendar?]. (Some Emarisians and Idol-Whilians also celebrate it, though the royal families do not.)
The first day of winter is Sunday, and the Saturday before it is New Year's Eve. On that last day of autumn, the traders arrive in the Everlands. That day is known as Market Day. The next evening on the winter solstice, when it's dark, all Everlandians put one candle in one of their windows. Everyone then holds a candle or lantern and together they walk all the way from the eastern border, through the palace grounds, to the docks on the western border, where the royal family then boards the royal ship.
