Notable things about the June (or “Junis” as we call it in-game) LARP event:
Junis is the month of Warming Days representing the transition from spring to summer. The cool days of spring move towards the warmer days of summer.
In celebrations through the month, each faction of the elves honors an element. Deep elves honor Fire. High elves honor Air. Low elves honor earth. And sea elves honor water. All elves honor the spirit of their people. The celebrations have changed over the years, some moving away from their traditional roots. For example, many sea elves celebrate Sallis Day where they ask Sallis to bless the water to ensure smooth sailing and to ward off bad luck and illness. Eveya is remembered by the low elves in celebrations that enhance the soil and give health and vigor.
The Cotillion Dance is a tradition reaching back to the Age of Life when young people were announced to polite society at a formal dance. Attending the Cotillion means that a young woman or man is now old enough to begin dating. The dance begins in late evening and often takes place outside in the cool spring night in the end of Mais or the beginning of Junis.
The solstices are especially sacred to followers of the Way of the Five who come together on these days to honor the Five by visiting local holy sites. The summer solstice has the longest daylight of the year and is used to worship Lumina and honor Noctis.
