The Day of Illumination is the start of the New Year in Iagreth. It is supposedly the day that the gods Antares and Sauda first came out of the create darkness and took the first steps towards creating the rest of the world. In years past it was a day when the light and darkness manipulators of the continent got to show off. There is an even larger gathering of people in the world today that treat the Day of Illumination as just the start of the new year. This year's Day of Illumination is especially large as it is also a celebration of the 6th millenium. There are events that are happening all over the city. This is the most massive gathering of traders that has happened in a while(most have set up in the green space surrounding the massive city square), but others are plying their trade among residential areas of the districts and at the universities. There are numerous entertainers(dancers, jugglers, theatre people, etc.) performing all over the city. Also games. There is a masquerade dance and fireworks being held in the evening.All of this is being presided over by the Imperial Princess Jian Mah, as her mother is the south negotiating a peace treaty for a recent conflict among the fire elves that includes a potential marriage alliance for her oldest daughter.
