Event: Negotiation Still Stalled
Date: 1st of Ymiden, 723.
Location: The Northern Hotlands

Event: The Dip
Date: 15th of Ymiden, 723.
Location: All across The Eternal Empire.
Description: Something that is largely seen as a children's holiday, The Dip marks the point of Ymiden where most waters within The Eternal Empire get warm enough to swim in. As such, most children are inclined to make use of the warm waters and take the day off from their lessons, apprenticeships, or training and go for a swim. While this is largely a day of fun for children, adults in the empire have grown to see it as a day of rest, giving them a break from teaching while the kids have their fun.

Date: 20th Ymiden, 723.

Event: The Founding
Date: 42nd of Ymiden, 723.
Location: All across The Eternal Empire.
Description: According to the histories, the 42nd of Ymiden, Arc 001, that Raskalarn and Karem first took charge of the tribes that would become the first citizens of The Eternal Empire. While the empire didn't receive its name yet, this is considered to be the moment The Eternal Empire was founded. As is only natural, this is a day of celebration within the empire and is marked by music, dancing, and shows of martial skills. No blood is deliberately drawn during these latter demonstrations, though accidents do happen, as these are merely demonstrations of ability, not fully fledged battles.

Event: Shade Building
Date: 73rd of Ymiden, 723.
Location: All across The Eternal Empire.
Description: An architect and artists holiday, Shade Building is a response to the upcoming heat of Saun and the Imperial tendency to be nosy about the security of those around them. As a result, many architects and artists, the latter coming from the empire's tradition of fortifications as an art form, build small shelters in open areas in cities or along the side of the road. These shelters are not long term buildings, but they almost always last through Saun and will help travellers or the homeless get out from under the blistering sun for a time. Most of these structures are made of wood or stone to keep them from overheating the way metal does.

Saun 723
Weather
General: It is very hot and very bright in most of the regions, with special mention going to the Winter Reach, which sees no snow whatsoever during Saun, and the Northern Hotlands, which are completely broiling during Saun.
Exceptions: The Volcanic Mountain Range is clouded over by volcanic smoke and is thus actually not that much hotter than usual, though it is still quite hot due to the presence of all the lava.
Dates
Event: Magic Cooling Research
Date: 2nd of Saun, 723.
Location: The Volcanic Mountain Range
Description: While the Imperial Arcane Academy is kept comfortable by its magic shields, they begin research on magical means to generate cold fields, especially for use in places like the Northern Hotlands.

Event: The Mourning
Date: 10th of Ashan, 723.
Location: All across The Eternal Empire.
Description: Though no Immortal has ever given a concrete date, it is believed by Imperial scholars that the destruction of Idalos during the Immortal War took place during Saun. This belief is held due to Faldrun's pride and malice, his role in starting the Immortal War, and his connection with Saun. The Mourning is held to remember the world that was lost due to the blindness of the Immortal War, and is held during the exact middle of the arc. The Mourning is a two day fast for all who aren't medically incapable of doing so, and unless attacked, no battle is done on the days of The Mourning.

Event: Take A Break Day
Date: 25th of Saun, 723.
Location: All across The Eternal Empire.
Description: One of the very holidays officially mandated by The Empress, Take A Break Day is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: A day on which everyone in the empire is to take a break. Raskalarn, recognizing the imperial tendency towards stubbornness and how dangerous it could be to overwork oneself during Saun, officially declared Take A Break Day as an imperial mandated holiday, during which no citizen of the empire is to do business unless it is vitally important to save lives.

Event: Valtharn?
Date: 31st of Saun, 723.
Location: The Winter Reach
Description: An apparition resembling Valtharn has been spotted multiple times throughout the Winter Reach. The reason that everyone is certain that it's an apparition, however, is that it appears to be Valtharn as she was during her time as an Imperial Marshal, before she turned traitor. It also doesn't respond to anyone's attempts to interact with it.

Event: Patience Day
Date: 37th of Saun, 723.
Location: All across The Eternal Empire.
Description: A holiday held towards the end of Saun, Patience Day is meant to celebrate the coming end of the hottest time of the arc, as people look forward to the return of night and its cooler temperatures that Vhalar symbolizes. Patience Day celebrations tend to be quiet, as people are usually worn from the endless days of Saun, but there usually a good offering of foodstuffs to be had. This is generally ambitious culinarians attempt to make cooling foods to see the empire through the final few days of Saun.

Event: Scouting New Regions
Date: 38th of Saun, 723.
Location: West of The Eternal Empire
Description: The Eternal Empire has never been shy about it's territorial ambitions, and now it is looking to its western border. The region to the west of the Eternal Empire has long gone unclaimed by any nation, and now Raskalarn has turned her attention to this territory as a result of the growth of the empire threatening to outstrip its food production ability.
This event will be done via tracker, rather than a single thread and will begin on the 14th of June. The tracker will close on the 20th of September. There won't be a rigid sign-up for the event.
