Sunnin Solstice

Established: 1,632 TS
Dates: 1st Unarnie of Sunnin - 1st Septenie of Sunnin
Type: Instider/Instidie/Virder

This is a time of global celebration created by the Daughter of the Sun. Goodwill towards all is encouraged and so gift exchange has become common during these days. People give gifts to each other and gifts to the poor.

The first and second days of this celebration are instiders. There are several parades including the main one around Fantasmal Mountain on the first day. In addition, although these days are considered instidies and not sancders, many people attend spiritual services. The third day is an instider where people give gifts to one another and to the poor.

The forth and fifth days, which only occur on certain years, are virders. Traditionally these two days are reserved for a huge celebration in Sunn Mountain, hosted by the Daughter of the Sun. Anyone can come, and at times there are as many as 700,000 people. For those who can't come to this celebration, other festivities are held all around the planet. During this time, the Daughter of the Sun speaks to the people and gives gifts of her own. In the TA era, this celebration was moved to Fantasmal Mountain and was hosted by the Fantasma.

The sixth and seventh days, which only occur in certain years, are instidies. On these days the Fantasma, the Daughter of the Sun, and the twelve epouranal mages travel around the planet, giving speeches, handing out gifts and spreading good will. The twelve epouranal mages even reveal revelations from Elohim.

During the Sunnin Solstice, all wars and conflicts are put on hold. This is not just a custom but actually enforced by the Fantasma, guardians, and Fantasmal Forces.
