• Guide to annual holidays, traditions, and events; including name, duration, location, and other essential information.

• Notes on the history of Sonnel and its calendar, and how the timekeeping itself was written.

DONOREN
Donoren 30: * Day of the Harpy Dove (Zlevecky)

On this day, the Zleveckian people celebrate the national animal Harpy Dove. People wear blue and white wings in celebration. There are mass parties regulated by the police in the streets. And usually, families meet to share stories and meals. Government offices are closed and stores usually close though some stay open and put sales in place.

LOXORTEN
Loxorten 49: ~ Zleveckian Independence Day (Zlevecky)

On this day, many people just eat with family or friends. It's the day where people remember when their ancestors claimed Zlevecky.

SHARDEN
Sharden 28-37 ^ Gréphant (Zlevecky)

Through the week, people celebrate Gréphant or the celebration of life and death. People dress up in robes of either yellow, red, or blue for a full day. They may take them off when ever they feel like it but traditionally people wear them through the day till night when they take it off for bed.

Typically, family and friends gather on certain days to celebrate. Foods are made especially for the days. Favorites include Jampa, a dish of various fish and meats mixed up and cooked; Yungomi, a vegetable that is boiled in water then layered with cheeses; Hergim, a kind of animal often eaten on this day; and Wrinp, sugary, red candies rolled up into a red ball and usually consumed by the children.

Throughout the day people wave and thank one another. Sometimes, towns may arrange parties music and games are involved. Other times other host their own parties for friends and or family to join.

One festive thing is for people in every city or town to capture the crowns. There are two, one for a gentleman and another for a female. They must wear it on their head for the whole 10 days until the end of the festival or until someone takes it. It is heavily regulated. Violence and breaking in are still prohibited. But taking it from their heads are fully allowed. The people who have the crown on that final day are usually rewarded with gifts and prizes.
