Nimbarre Grand Trials: A festival held both in celebration of the establishment of the Grand Counsel, and to hear highest-profile legal cases of the year—this is the one time of year when the Grand Counsel meets together to pass final judgement on ducal disputes. It’s a week of heated legal proceedings during the day, and fabulous balls and parties after night falls.
Ar-Khyne Magitech Symposium: A yearly research symposium, convention, and fair celebrating the founding of the Khyne Technocracy. All the nation’s research and engineering firms present here in a battle to show off the most revolutionary technology, and more importantly, to secure funding for the following year.
Tournament of Swords: A tournament held intermittently in Taguzen in Bishamon’s honor, overseen and organized by the Shogunate. Rumors say those who do well are offered a position in the Shogunate’s forces, regardless of their background… or their past with the Shogunate.
Held in an arena overlooking the Bay of Swords, where it’s said many aspects of Bishamon lie as blades at the bottom of the bay.
Glacial Grand Prix: The biggest icerider chill of the year, usually held in the Altus Highlands with the arrival of spring. The warming sun begins to break up and melt the coastal Altus ice floes, revealing an all-new set of icerider courses—and beginning again the competition to be the first to conquer them.
Spirit-Lord’s Trial: A festival held in the Theanillean city of Lindwurm**,** centered around the legend of the hero Olivier, the Spirit-Lord. Participants step onto the grounds of the Sanctuary of Lindwurm and declare a challenge, at which point the sanctuary itself may summon a spectral warrior to fight the challenger. Few are those the Sanctuary deems worthy enough to fight, and even fewer still are those who manage to defeat their foe. Victors are said to be granted treasure, power, or even some critical insight unto themselves.
