Verai Arvajsh

Verai Arvajsh is a day celebrated on Verail for as long as records exist. It is often recorded as being celebrated on different days by different groups of people, with no solid consensus as to where it should occur, or what should be done to celebrate it. As travel across continents became more accessible, various interpretations of Verai Arvajsh started to merge together, leaving the end result that's remained mostly the same for the past two thousand years.

It is celebrated at the beginning of a new year, with children believed with receive gifts from Kelviena. In truth, as even deities lack the power to create objects for millions of children over a single night, this is usually the work of their parents, though sometimes nylans try to carry out this tradition as well. Towns will often hold reenactments of the battle between the deities, Velyr "The First God", and the enigmatic "Dark Lord" spoken of in ancient history, although the historical accuracy of these events is highly suspect.

While this is celebrated by most nations, the Kahvlarashar tend to care little for festivals, and the Vencarel tend to put more emphasis on days important to themselves and those close to them, rather than universal holidays. Dracadians often combine Verai Arvashj with their winter solstice, and the people of Ir tend to have different customs due to being mostly withdrawn from society on the surface.

The name "Verai Arvajsh" is believed to translate in the Ancient Tongue to "Victory Day". As years were originally counted in Fharvashz Verai, or "After Victory", a belief eventually came about that years began to be counted on the first Verai Arvajsh, leading to the timing of the modern celebration.
