To celebrate the Winter Solstice a massive annual festival is held in Deathfell, which is the highest elevated city in the Prism Realm. During this multi-week festival, the city holds daily events, with many prizes available. Market stalls, traveling salesmen, and game booths seem to line every street. Bars and inns tend to be bustling with live music and patrons. This is a cold time of the year, and most Arkaine will be dressed in heavy wool and fur outfits to keeping them warm while enjoying festivities. Breads, meats, and warm drinks are the most commonly sold items at the market stalls during this time, but often some more rare items can be found for a discounted price. Throughout this festival, the Deathfell Prism Temple offers free healing to all, but free stay only to volunteers.
Summer Solstice Festival (June in Asari)
Much like its counterpart festival in the winter, the Summer Solstice festival is held in the capital of Asari. During this multi-week festival, the city holds daily events that include a variety of prizes Market stalls, traveling salesmen, and game booths seem to line the streets in a dedicated area, for Asari is much larger than Deathfell. Taverns and Inns often are a bustling hub of entertainment, as they host live music and many patrons from near and far. With this being a rather hot time of the year, the food and drinks are usually served on the colder side as well as sold in the market stalls, to help the patrons of the festival cool down in the summer heat.
Harvest Moon Festival
The Celebration of Autumn; this one day celebration always falls on the Full Moon in the middle of September. Usually a Harvest Moon glows a eerie orange or reddish hue, and sometimes even gold. This is a day of merriment, friends, and family. Most cities will hold a public festival within the P.T., but its common practice to have a large pot luck style meal with your loved ones. Often summer crops are harvested during the day and sometimes fall crops are planted.
Valontras' Tears Meteor Shower
On a clear night towards the end of summer, around the middle of August, if you look up into the evening sky a spectacular scene spreads before those who watch. The Meteor Shower that has been come to be known as Valontras' Tears is an annual event that can take place virtually anywhere within the Prism Realm. The only requirement is that there be no ambient light around, for it will make it harder to see the meteors dance across the evening sky. Best time to view this event is close to midnight. Some cities will throw a celebration before hand, while tribes would host a ritual honoring the Gods. They say that the Tears of Valontras are shown on this night, cleansing the Realm in preparation for the coming year.
Solar/Lunar Eclipse
Solar Eclipse is a random event that happens approximately twice a year. This is when the moon is align with the sun, causing the Prism Realm to grow dark for a certain period of time. It is said that when this phenomena happens, that Kamales and Valontras are in sync, that there is balance in the Realm for that period of time. It is also said that Kamales has entered the house of Valontras for this balance.
Lunar Eclipse happens more frequent than a Solar eclipse. This phenomena happens during the full moon cycle and when it does happen, the moon appears to have a red/orange hue to it. They say that the reason this is more frequent than that of a Solar Eclipse, is that Kamales enjoys having Valontas come visit more and the hues of the moon reflect the merriment of the visit. Though it happens more than a Solar Eclipse, it is not always visible. When it is not visible upon the moon, it is reflect in the setting sun, the red/orange hues are more brilliant than normal. They say when this happens, it is because Volantras attempted to enter the house of Kamales, but were turned away.
Trade Festival (Arocrest)
Come one come all to the greatest trade show of all! Merchants and Traveling Salesmen come from all corners of the Prism Realm to gather at the most central point within the whole realm. Arocrest. This is a city that is built within the side of the Shimmering Scar Canyon and the depths are unknown, which makes it the perfect place for all to come and trade, sell, and scope out wares from every corner of the Prism Realm. This Festival not only is for the well seasoned Merchant and salesman, but also for those just budding and getting their feet wet. Everyone has opportunities to swap stories, trade tips, and gain a network that will benefit them for years to come. As long as they stay in good standing that is.
Oasis Float and Fishing Festival
During the time between the winter and spring months, a great convergence happens to where fish around the Prism Realm migrate back to their spawning grounds from the oceans. Majority of the fish pass through the Shimmering Scar Canyon and the Oasis within the Asari desert. It is during this time that the Fishing Festival commences. Fishermen from all backgrounds gather to catch spawning fish for they are much richer than regular, plus those fish eggs within the females make a great treat for the family. When the Fishing Festival isn't going on, many take to the Oasis and float around, relaxing after such a long day of fun. This Festival lasts for three days and no longer for there still needs to be fish for later in the year.
Blood Bond Ceremony/Marriage
Often two colors decorate either the indoors or the outdoors area where the Bond Ceremony is preformed. These two colors are the colors of both Arkaine's lifethorn's glow or blood. This represents the Arkaine's undying bond as well as their promise of love and sacrifice. Usually these ceremonies are very personalized but often include: Dancing, Drinking, Feasting, Friendly Games, and more. This usually is a very formal event. Both Arkaine stand in front of their peers and both wear flower crowns and drape flowers over each of their shoulders. Often vows of commitment are exchanged as well as a small token of love (usually a ring or another piece of jewelry). After this exchange the couple would turn and show the Gods and the audience their bond scars. Couples who are not Blood Bonded but wish to celebrate their commitment in this fashion follow the same guidelines. Blood Bonded or not, it is celebrated equally as a true Blood Bond done by the Gods.
Rituals
💠 Teleportation Ritual
This ritual is probably the one that is used most. To perform this ritual, one must collect 4 candles (regular or ritual candles), and 4 Crystal Cuts. To successfully do this ritual, you first need to draw the runic circle and glyphs either in the dirt of the earth around you, or with rune chalk. Then, you will place 4 of your crystals in the crystal circles, and light 4 candles in the other circles around the large circle that you will be sitting in. The crystals must come from the Arkaines who are traveling, up to 4 at a time. The candles can be any type, but if they are Ritual Candles, they will magically teleport with you at your destination, and they will never burn down.
Once your crystals have been laid out and the candles have been lit, you will have to sacrifice a drop of your blood upon each of the crystals you’ve laid out. Once you’ve set up your ritual correctly, you may sit in the center of the circle and meditate. Even with your eyes closed, hold your destination in your mind. Visualize the surroundings, the people you’ve seen or may see… you should see a bright flash of either silver or gold light, even with your eyes closed. If you’ve done this correctly, you will open your eyes and find yourself in the destination of your choice. To an onlooker, when the ritual is done successfully, it looks as if the Arkaine’s body seems to dissolve into a glittering light.. Whether the light is Gold or Silver depends on which of the Gods that Arkaine is more aligned with. This ritual works for teleporting within the Prism Realm or between the Prism Realm and the Terrestrial Realm.
💠 Mass Heal Ritual
This ritual is usually only used when an Arkaine is on the brink of death, or is infected with a deadly disease. It will completely clear the body of toxins and disease, as well as stabilize an Arkaine who is on the brink of death. To successfully do this ritual, you first need to draw the runic circle and glyphs either in the dirt of the earth around you, or with rune chalk. Place your sick/wounded in the center, and outline their body in Blue Moss. Then, you will place 3 of your crystals in the crystal circles, and light 3 candles in the other circles around the large circle that you are kneeling in. The crystals can be anyone’s, but they must be Arkaine. The candles can be any type, but if they are Ritual Candles, they will they will never burn down. Once your crystals have been laid out and the candles have been lit, you must begin meditating on the outside of the circle, while your sick/wounded lay in the center. Once you’ve set up your ritual correctly, you may sit in the center of the circle and meditate.
To an onlooker, when the ritual is done successfully, it looks as if the Arkaine’s body seems to dissolve into a glittering light before reforming into a healthier version of themselves. Whether the light is Gold or Silver depends on which of the Gods that Arkaine is more aligned with.
