Specific Events
Cylus: 30 Trials
Event: Light Within the Dark
Date: 1st of Cylus, 723.
Location: Viden
Description: The "outside" is plunged in to darkness, but Yvithia's Fortress remains as a bastion against the dark and the cold. As darkness hits the world, massive beacons are lit on the mountaintops all around Viden. These beacons are flames which burn pure white and they remain lit for all of Cylus. The world may be darkness, but Viden's light shines brightly. As the sky fills with auroras, the flames seem to reflect the colours and somehow enhance them ~ the effects over Viden throughout Cylus are some of the most beautiful sights on Idalos.

Event: Moon Trial
Date: 30th of Cylus, 723.
Location: Viden
Description: The Fortress celebrates this trial in a few different ways. The fortress, normally lit up against the Cylus darkness, smothers as much light as is realistically possible, symbolizing reverence for the moon. All babies born in during the month of Cylus are considered to have a special connection with Treid. On this trial, friends and family gather two breaks before the end of the trial. Under the light of 'Moonstones', two candles are lit, one by the mother and the other by the father. Slowly, working outwards from close family, extended family and then friends, more and more candles are lit, symbolizing the infant's waking consciousness and thirst for knowledge. Then, when all the candles a lit, the parents announce their child's name - referred to as the 'first knowledge'.
