Winston will make you something bespoke.
1st Ymiden
This trial marks the beginning of the summer season on Scalvoris. At dawn on the first trial, Scalvorians go and stand by a body of water and pour a cupful over their heads, symbolising rebirth and the dawn of a new time. It is considered a time for making big decisions, perhaps affecting change in one's life. However, this arc many do not even do that. Scalvoris awakes to find out what happened on the night of the Pirate Attacks. In these early trials (for the first 30), the focus is on relief and aid. Tracked!
1st – 3rd Ymiden
Relief efforts are fully underway all across Scalvoris.
5th Ymiden
All records of what happened in the Pirate Attack are now public and common knowledge. What isn’t known though is why the Pirate Lords attacked, what they wanted or what was a bluff and what wasn’t. On this trial the notices go out asking people to investigate and to collaborate and share information – to find out all they can.
12th Ymiden Xiur's Dusk.
This is Xiur's night, also known as "Star Night". There is a ritual amongst families that the youngest and oldest member of the family must exit the house at dusk by one door, stand together until they see, and wish a blessing and dedication to Xiur upon, different stars and then must get back into the house by different means, climbing through the window if necessary. Over the course of many arcs, it has become something of a sport in Almund to try and get back in the house by the most obscure means possible. This has led to a few accidents and the odd case of people being stuck in chimneys. This year, Xiur’s Dusk passes by largely unnoticed, unless anyone does something specific. Tracked!
24th Ymiden Cassion’s Feast
This is a trial given over to Cassion. During the day, people congregate to predetermined locations in their town or village and they each bring a story. If they can write, they bring it in written form, but there are scribes there to write the stories down. That night there is feasting up and down the island with large groups coming together to sit around and share tales, always leaving a space for the Immortal and a meal in offering. It is believed that Cassion visits Scalvoris at this time each Ymiden, to sample the food and to read through the thousands of stories which are left out for him, then later stored in the library. This arc, Scalvorians across the island record their tales of the pirate attacks and those who defended against them.
40th Ymiden Hunters Moon
This is a strange night on Scalvoris. It always has a "Hunters' Moon, where the moon is enormous in the sky and a deep blood red. Legend has it that animals hunted and killed that day and night in Karem's name earn her favour. On the night of the 39th, and often before, hunters go out and the night of the 40th there is a feast. It is traditional that only that which has been hunted or grown in the 3 trials before is eaten in that feast, which is usually a large affair in the middle of the town / village. This year, the feasts are held as remembrance and Saoire herself appears. Tracked / Modded! This is the event where Saoire will give an overview of the relief efforts and give the final tally of the Pirate Attacks. Any threads after this date will not form part of the tracker.
41st Ymiden Harvest
On this trial the first harvest is collected and there is a strange tradition. The first of each type of produce is collected in a basket and offered to the Immortal Lisirra, that she might keep pestilence away from their island for another arc. Until this is finished, no one eats, in case Lisirra sees and takes offence that her offering is not the first of the trial.
50th Ymiden Celebration of Life.
On the 50th Ymiden, those who fought off the pirates are celebrated and thanked. It’s a sombre affair but it’s accepted that it’s important to say thank you to those involved. The celebration is held at Cally’s and the change in leader of Isonomia and the final result of the ScalvChef are also celebrated.
52nd Ymiden Fairy Harvest
On the 52nd of Ymiden, there are fairies spotted all over Scalvoris - they venture out from their usual places and are seen. Throughout the trial, fairies will suddenly appear in a burst of glitter and inform people that to-trial is the Fairy Harvest!! What that means, no one quite knows, but they seem very happy about it. Open - PM for plot notes if you investigate further, but otherwise, feel free to use in your threads!
62nd Ymiden Gratitude Festival
This festival shows gratitude to the hunters and workers in the fields who have been tirelessly working to put food on everyone's plates. Therefore, one person in each street, or block of houses if the street is particularly long, opens their house so that everyone might welcome the rest for the field workers and have company during the almost inevitable downpour by this part of the season. If it isn't raining, it can be a garden party ~ but it always rains
63rd Ymiden Saoire's Gratitude
The day after gratitiude trial, Saoire herself goes around Scalvoris giving small gifts to those in need. She visits orphanages, hostels, the Order of the Adunih, soup kitchens, etc - the people there speak of her kindness. Saoire appeals to people to give time, even just a little, to these causes and to look after the most needy in society. Donations increase. Open / Reward (all threads dealing with this should be posted in the Impact Tracker).
70th Ymiden Heroes Trial
Across the island feasts and celebrations are held to give thanks for those who saved the island. The skies above Scalvoris are lit up with shooting stars and the star-turtle is seen by each and every one - it visits each of those who stood before the Scalv-Flame and Scalvoris delights in the sight. Open
80th Ymiden Flora Trial
This is a day where Scalvorians celebrate flowers. Females wear flowers in their hair, men wear flowers on their lapels. Each town and village decks itself out with floral displays and there is a carnival where wagons parade through the town or village, decked with flowers depicting stories or songs. It is a day of celebration for young and old alike.
