New Years Festival (Niven 1)
Obiviously, this is the celebration of the new year. It is normally celebrated atop Mt Othello, at the main temple. The trail is cleared out, and all up it are merchants booths. Some area's of the mountain side have been flattened out over the years, allowing for groups to gather, dance, and play music. As the day draws to a close, people line up to bow and pray with a priestess (there are hundreds there) and light aflame their new years resolutions. Afterwards, the holy preists and preistesses join together in a ritualistic display of dance, and elemental proweress.
Spring Celebration/ Carbunkles Festival (Christe 5)
Referred to as one of the most exciting festivals in the year, the Spring Celebration is a celebration of fertility and new life. As well as giving and good will. It's similar to Earth's christmas, in that during this celebration, all present presents to they're friends, family, or significant others. The celebration is held on the outskirts of Clauden's Wood of Rose, near the large temple. There are normally boothes filled with food, and exciting jewlery. And even a few tents that older couples may visit for spiritual readings.
Lunaris Festival/ Celebration of the Goddess (Lexi 12)
A celebration in honor of "She" the unnamed goddess who created Remora. Everyone dresses in ritualistic attire for the event, and the whole day is spent in dance, and worship near Lake Ogir and the crystal temple dedicated to the lady.
Merchants Gala (Vinet 11-18)
An event in Krindin is one to be excited for. The streets are cleaned up, buildings are decorated, and merchants from around the world set up their booths, offering -huge- discounts to those that attend!
Mortis Flux/ Bahumats Reign (Till 14)
A day spent indoors, in prayer. At night, the people come out, gathering at the base of Mt Othello. With no temple to Bahumat, they raise up a large fire. Scantily clad warrior preistesses fly down from the mountain range atop young dragons, and put on a display of elemental power, reminding all of Bahumats reign over the dead.
Warrior Festival/ Alexanders Festival (Till 18)
Warriors from around the world gather to Lake Ogir. From dawn, until dusk, one warrior is released per hour, to travel in his own way, to the temple on the small island in the middle of the lake. With in the temple, (those that make it that far), they meet with the priestesses, and become ordained knights for their country, and their respective God if they so chose. Otherwise, it is meerly a night of honor, and by midnight, they are sent back to the main land by transport.
Elemental Display/ Ifrits Celebration (Asha 3)
People gather along the River Bell every year for the Elemental Display. From all around, children, adults, and old folk alike, gather in groups and hold sparring matches, elegant dances, and wild displays to show off their magic using abilities. There are even costume competitions, and display competitions, in which the winners are provided extravagantly priced awards by Lady Evidia herself, and some are even chosen to serve within the castles by the rulers if they so wish the oppurtunity!
Harvest Festival/ Siren's Celebration (Shaw 15)
This is the time of year, when autumn crops are pulled up, and ready for display. There will be smaller harvests through winter, but this is the most bountiful, the one that will keep families fed for the next months to come. There is a festival in each major city, where farmers bring in their excess, and pride displays, selling off what they wont be needing, and competiting with each other for best crop. Those who aren't selling or competing, wander the streets and buy from vendors on their way to Siren's temple, holding worship until late evening.
Winter Feast/ Shiva's Festival (Greegs 9)
It used to be that all the rulers participated in this, making travel easy for the people. Lady Evidia attends this religiously, every year, inviting all her country (and others if they wish to attend) to come and gather at her castle. Tabels are set in a large outdoor ampitheater that she set up in honor of the celebration. An all day event, the people gather. The ruler typically feeds them all for free. Lady Evidia makes it a point, on this day, to deal out a small pouch including a portion of gold coins, to each attendee. Before dinner, there is a large performance. Servants of the Temple of Shiva putting on a dance, and sometimes a play to entertain the people.
Gathering of Entertainers/ Nathanial's Celebration(Orgain 1)
An event held in Nathanial's Forest. Entertainers from around the world gather, setting up stages to perform, music, plays, sparring matches for play... (pretty much a ren faire if ya think about it  )
