New page

'''Time''': Annual, 14th day of Resplendent Air.

'''Location''': Realm-wide

'''Host''': Immaculate Order

'''Invitations''': Public

'''Theme and Activity:''' At the beginning of the month of Resplendent Air, the monks at temples devoted to Mela, the Immaculate of Air, begin to spend their days in prayer, while writing sutras over immense sheets of paper. These sheets are then shaped into items such as umbrellas, fans, paper lanterns and the like, and then distributed amongst the populace in the morning of Mela’s feast day, as the monks parade through their towns and cities.

It has become customary for local Dynasts to sponsor the Festival of Mela by donating paper, ink and brushes to the monks… in some communities these donations can be a source of competition between Dynastic political rivals.

+The first day of the Festival is traditionally a day of mass prayers (not only to the Elemental Dragon of Air, but to numerous other deities scheduled to receive their due on this day according to the [[Prayer Calendar]]) and reflection on how one might emulate the Air Immaculate and refrain from approximating the Sickly Whore, taking place at all Immaculate temples and shrines regardless of individual leaning. Monks will walk the streets to gather crowds and read tales of the Air Dragon from the [[Immaculate Texts]].
