Holidays!

Since this is the last day off I will have for a bit, let me have some fun and talk about holidays.

In Elementia there are only a few recognized holidays, but those that exist are especially important.  The biggest holiday is Mas-Paz, or more peace.  This holiday happens to fall on the same day as the Earth holiday Christmas, but is part of a multi-day celebration like Hanukkah.  This event's main focus is on celebrating the joys of the year and a coming together.  On the other hand, there is Forsworn Day.  This one is not mentioned often in the books, however, it is a day that looks back at ones failures, the challenges of the year, the hardships one has faced, basically a day of reflection on mistakes and hardships.  The exact day is not mentioned, but it is near the direct opposite portion of the year from Mas-Paz.

Beyond those two holidays, other events tend to be those of simpler "recognition" days.  These are days that celebrate major events and victories, such as the defeat of Darkness or some similar event.  There are many of these days available to "celebrate."  With this in mind though, not everyone recognizes them, not because they do not believe in them, but because they only go for the ones that relate to their family.

Until the next time, let the elements flow...
