Midsummer Morning
Borrowed from the once-a-decade dwarven ritual in name and spirit, this holiday known as Midsummer Mourning serves to honor those who fell in the war for Edrian. The dwarves' tradition involved letting go of old trinkets and mementos, often thru barter, in order to pass on their memories and history. The citizen of Arleaon swapped solemn remembrance for pageantry and fellowship. Over the years, performances and reenactments have become the trend, though historians often balk at the wildly varying accuracy.
The most popular Midsummer Morning activity takes place at the foot of the Bitter Rivals statue. Built overlooking the palace of Three Kings, this statue depicts two dragons intertwined in a brutal fight in resemblance to the actual combatants turned to living sculptures at the war's end. Like the war's bittersweet victory celebrated in the shadow of those time-locked giants, modern-day observers sing teary songs, light candles, and lay flowers.
