Overview

Sru’ ïsẹ - "Nature's awakening"
Trial 30 of Cylus

Detail

This festival celebrates awakening of the nature. Preparations for this festival begin with the first trial when sun returns to the world and the darkness is broken. By the time the festival takes place, snow has melted away and the first sprouts of green can be seen all over the place.

Preparations for the festival aren't complicated or complex but they are highly individual. Each Sev'ryn is given time to find something old from the last arc. It can be an old piece of equipment, clothing, or even an aged plant they have been caring for. Throughout the 31st trial, these items are taken outside and left in the warming sun ideally near a place where a fresh growth is spotted. It is meant to rejuvenate the item and indirectly rejuvenate the possessor.

This is also a day for professions that work with nature. Healers and crafters will venture into the Lori and look for new sources of herbs, or other material they work with. They will spend some time 'priming' the location. In other words, they will pray to Moseke and the forest itself for a permission to take from that location.

At the end of the trial, Sev'ryn come together for an evening that begins low but with progress gets more energetic. It symbolises the process of coming out of hibernation.
