Summer Solstice

The summer solstice, also known as midsummer, is when the planet has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. During the summer solstice, the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky and is the day with the longest period of daylight.

Background
The summer solstice is a widely celebrated day in Bakanasima. It is ingrained within its cultural and religious roots, and is associated with their faith of the Silverlight. During the summer solstice, a festival is usually held starting the night before. The festival is dedicated to the veun spirits in gratitude of good harvest, health and prosperity.

In Vvira, the summer solstice is encompassed within a celestial leap. Each leap occurs roughly every 144 years. During the transition year between two leaps, the veun spirits roam Bakanasima in search of an envoy.
