<p>For everyone, this happens in the first week of spring and continues on for days. The time is not set; some years it's longer, others shorter. It is a celebration of all who follow Ilsare. During this event, the hillside is covered in beautiful, colorful tents and joyous music. Arts and crafts, plays and dancing, choruses and wandering muscians accent sculpture and some of the finest foods ever cooked. It's said only an Ilsarian cook can give a <span class="FORCELINK">Prunillan</span> a run for their money and nowhere is that more true than at the Gathering of the Red.</p></li></ul> | <p>For everyone, this happens in the first week of spring and continues on for days.

<p>This happens on the summer solstice at the <span class="FORCELINK">Breath of the Muse</span> and is a gathering of apprentices.

<p>Crafters and artists take the first day of golden leaves (fall) as Creation Day. This has no set day but happens sometime around the beginning of fall and can be different for different locales or individuals.

It is a personal, private celebration and not well known outside the <span class="FORCELINK">Inspiration</span>.</p></li></ul> | <p>Crafters and artists take the first day of golden leaves (fall) as Creation Day.
