Other Events

While their are annual events that occur each year, there are some events that occur out with the usual calendar year. The examples listed here are events that occur with a frequency that allows them to be tracked. In doing so

Day of Darkness

Once every 5 years, Thinning of the Planes
For as long as recorded history, this time of year is always accompanied by a collection of powerful creatures from various Inner Planes attempting to invade the realm. However, there are many times that this doesn't occur due to the locations of thinning across the realms not aligning. However, despite this the realm is beset by a darkness that crawls over from Shadecrest. As a result, during night on the Day of Darkness, the entire realm is plunged into an almost magical darkness. Both of the moons are hidden at night despite their phases. Many cultures have magical or martial protection for this night, protecting them in the event of an incursion. Typically the Day of Darkness occurs on the 23rd of

Day of the High Moon

Day following the Day of Darkness, Holy Day of Marvina
In opposition to the Day of Darkness, the Day of High Moon has the moon Telesia at its brightest, with a full moon occurring regardless of the different phases of the moon. As a result, the night time is bathed in a light of silver that lays across the realm. Often those who have been granted a fragment of divine power by Marvina find themselves really busy during this day, many of them being asked to help with medical concerns of various mothers around the realm. During this night, as before the planes are much thinner, with entities from all the different Inner Realms able to enter the planes more easily. However, unlike the Day of Darkness, its much easier for people to prevent these incursions.

Celestial Radiance

Some Full Moons of Telesia and Cauldius
Occuring on a random cycle throughout the years, the Celestial Radiance, is an event in which the two moons are both visible in the sky throughout the day. In a cycle of every 250 years, the magic of the moons allow the leylines of the world to briefly become visible. One of the last times this event took place was 703 AR. On this day it was primarily just the two moons in the sky. At this time, the event was used as a sign to the Ossalimarian Empire that the currently being discussed Shrouded War was the right move for the nation, The next time the leylines are said to be in the sky is during 755 AR.
