	: Several Ralgrenek communities and enclaves begin the new year by celebrating Iveltan. A trio of dwarves trek down a little-traveled tunnel, typically one that goes deeper than others and is often considered dangerous. When the tunnel becomes impassable, the trio leaves offerings for the Moss Brethern, including food and tools.		: Several Ralgrenek communities and enclaves begin the new year by celebrating Iveltan.

In most cases, this is the inaugural hunt for those who have reached adolescence the prior year and is considered a step into adulthood.  At no point is the youth to engage in their first hunt on their own, as tradition dictates such a step to be celebrated by close relatives and friends.  Following the hunt, the aelotoi feast and share their various trophies with those unable to attend.

	: Thus began the celebration of the Peahen's Picnic. Throughout the month of Charlatos, elves and their guests spend their afternoons enjoying the newly bloomed gardens and lawns across the Elven Nations, playing games upon the grass and sharing in elaborate picnics. Always nearby is an accompanying picnic for feathered fellows, furry animals, and scaled companions, a celebration (or bribe) for creatures we call friends.		: Thus began the celebration of the Peahen's Picnic.

			: Held annually on the last full weekend of Imaerasta in Sleeping Drake Harbor, Wrath of the Drake honors Fash'lo'nae, the Grandfather of Knowledge, and the fire, both literal and intellectual, that he gifted to mortals, despite the objections of the Great Drakes and other Arkati. The heart of the festival is a torch race up the travertine cliffs to one side of the Spine of Koar, where competitors must overcome Nine Hazards to bring fire to the edge of the Agora Promenade.

			: The day begins with the arrival of contestants and spectators from across the island. Outlying farmsteads send representatives, and the harbor fills with revelers as the morning is spent in debate and storytelling, where scholars, tricksters, and firebrands share tales of forbidden wisdom, lost knowledge, and the ever-present pursuit of truth. Fire-eaters, flame dancers, and masked performers take to the streets, ensuring no mind remains unstirred and no heart untested.

			: At the third hour past midday, competitors gather at the base of the Spine of Koar, each carrying a lit torch. The goal: deliver fire to the peak, where a great wrought-iron brazier of firewood awaits ignition. The path is fraught with Nine Hazards, each a test of wit, agility, or sheer determination.

			: The Hazards are:
			# The Assassin's Ambush – Several acrobats costumed as Onar attempt to snatch competitors' torches.
			# Harbingers of Lumnis – Stilt-walking parrots squawk riddles, blocking passage until answered.
			# The Drake's Tail – A sweeping rope obstacle mimicking a drake's thrashing tail.
			# Rolling Barrels – Large barrels tumble down the steps, forcing nimble footwork.
			# Shifting Pennants – Billowing flags and banners obscure the path, a test of instinct and memory.
			# Sheeted Spectres – Large white sheets mask the way, disorienting runners and representing the fog that can cloud a mind.
			# Echoing Wisdom – Competitors must repeat whispered phrases, but tricksters offer false words to deceive them.
			# The Scholar's Leap – A gap in the stairs requires a well-timed leap or risk being delayed by mischievous scholars.
			# The Great Drake's Maw – A massive Koar costume blocks the final stretch, opening only for those who offer fire or knowledge.

			: The first competitor to reach the summit and ignite the brazier is declared the victor, though no prize beyond prestige is given.

			: As night falls, the fire is carried back down, and the festival concludes with a grand bonfire, where the people of Ornath drink, debate, and revel beneath the firelit sky, celebrating the gifts of Fash'lo'nae and the eternal pursuit of knowledge.

			: While originally a single-day event, Wrath of the Drake has expanded in recent years into a three-day festival, incorporating preliminary games, performances, and additional challenges inspired by the Nine Hazards.
