There are rumours of Ironridge and Lysoria forming an alliance through the region, and the position of Antony Fransse, member of the Council of Minah is still not filled.

| 34 | Treth | Treth holds a new election to choose two representatives for the town to Ne'haer. There has been frustration in the area, belief that Ne'haer is taking their agriculture for granted. The general sentiment is Ne'haer needs to respect Treth as an important ally, not a food source. | Moderated Thread / Looking For Players |
| 41 | Lysoria | Privately, the city begins to realise that these mages are not just rumours - there really are mages involved in the higher echelons of Lysorian society. Oddly, this does not cause fear amongst the population, though rumours do make their way to Ne'haer, which continues their dislike of the northen cities. | Player Ran |
| 49 | Yurrova | Rumours begin to circulate of a faction beginning to form in the wartorn town. This faction seems to believe that Ne'haer cannot do enough to protect their town. The Blades of Zafra deny any such faction or sentiment exists. | Player Ran |

| The Feast of the Heavens | 7th Trial of Ymiden | A holiday devoutly celebrated by the whole region, the feast is considered one of the most important dates of the year. Feasts are held throughout the cities, from small, private gatherings to huge, government sponsored parties, tables overflowing with food and drink. The Immortals are very carefully referenced throughout the feasts, and much care is taken to ensure that each and every immortal is represented and referenced in one way or another. During the feasts musicians can be found performing for the honour of various gods; children hold plays depicting historical battles and events, and many sacrifices are given throughout the day and into the night. | |
| Prosperity Festival | 19th Trial of Ymiden | An incredibly important festival that occurs in Ymiden each arc, the Prosperity Festival began as a way of celebrating the bounty of the harvest, which has morphed into a celebration of all good things in one's life. Families gather for dinners and laughter, and front doors are decorated in wreaths of flowers to indicate growth and renewal. | |
| Market Day | 27th Trial of Ymiden | Ne'haer has labelled this a public holiday, and people come from other cities in the region to attend. The main square is transformed into a hubbub of a marketplace, where anyone can set up a stall and sell their wares - if they can find space. It tends to mainly be a market of artisanal wares, things that people have made themselves. It always ends the day with a bonfire and lots of drinking. | |
| Commemoration of the Sea | 43rd Trial of Ymiden | Cities close to the sea offer this day to U'frek.

| Alcohol Appreciation Day | 74th Trial of Ymiden | A day dedicated to the celebration of one of Ne’haer’s most profitable markets; wine. Traditionally made throughout Millstone and Hyran, the wine is renowned and sought after by the rich and influential from all over Idalos. Various cities have a hand in the winemaking process, from growing to packaging, selling and exportation. For those living in the region, wine is an important part of daily life and culture, representing the success and profits of each individual city. On this day, the drinking of alcohols of all kinds are encouraged, and vintners sell their brews by the barrel at market. Cheeses and fruits are also found in abundance, generally carefully paired to the wines that complement their favours. Celebrations continue late into the night, growing louder and more ridiculous the later it gets. |

New Arcs Trial is celebrated across Ne'haer. At the beginning of every Arc, and the start of the Rebirth Cycle, families gather together to spend time and celebrate accomplishments in the Arc prior - as well as mourn anyone lost. It is a time to remember what is in the past, consider what might be in the future and enjoy what you have in the present. This arc, following all the troubles of Arc 716, it seems even more poignant than previous arcs.
6 Cylus
A group of almost one hundred slaves are discovered hidden in a ship which was stopping over briefly. The slaves are immediately rescued and taken care of, as always happens and the owner of the boat is questioned. It comes to light that they are part of a group who ship kidnapped individuals to new, faraway cities where they will often not even be understood, let alone believed.
12 Cylus
Thalin Glaurid, Council of Minäih member responsible for agriculture announces that there has been an unidentified disease in one of the grain stores and the grain is lost. This will mean that food supplies for the remainder of Cylus are stretched, although not impossibly so. However, when a second grain store is found with the same blight, foul play is suspected.
17 Cylus
Festival of Illuminations: To take away from the constant darkness in Cylus, a celebration is had all over Ne'haer themed around light. Lanterns are lit and, after a small count down, released. Some are designed to float towards the sky, whereas others float above the water - decorating the area with constant light for that festival.
19 Cylus
Three young children disappear whilst out playing in the snow. Search parties go out but it is as though the children have simply vanished.
21 Cylus
Fears grow as the three young friends have still not been found and no leads are forthcoming at all. Calls are put out for help amid growing concerns about not just the children but how they can have disappeared without trace. (PC determined outcome ~ without player involvement the children will not be found.)
25 Cylus
Celebration of the Stars: On this night, the stars are said to be the brightest they will be for the entire Arc. To celebrate, people go out in their warmest clothes or admire the stars from their homes. To some, it is believed that this is a sign from Xiur himself, assuring everyone that the year will be prosperous and positive for all. Many of the citizens of Ne'haer join in prayer and offering to the Immortal of Hope that this arc will be one of peace.
30 Cylus
On the last trial of Cylus the city of Ne'haer seems to breathe a sigh of relief as they look forward to welcoming in the new season of Ashan.
Big thanks goes to Pegasus and Munchkin for setting up the calendar! Thank You!
