The Fall of Night - February 1 - 5:
The winter's festival is intended purely as a time of frivolity for Faucheux to break up the monotony of winter and to remind everyone that Spring will not be far off in arriving. Held again at the lake-side, the four days of the festival involve the construction of ice-feasts, bonfires, skating, sleigh races, and a grand Snowflake ball.
The King's Birthday - April 7:
Each King is honored by naming the calendar day of his birth as a holiday. This is also a time of great feasting and celebration through-out Faucheux and especially in Bordelaix where everyone from common-born to noble turns out to honor the King.
Ascension Day - May 15:
The day that the first Deveraux was crowned king is considered one of the greatest holidays in Faucheux's calendar, always celebrated on May 15 with a great feast, the giving of gifts, and the renewing of vows of fealty.
The Summer Festival - August 15 - 20:
Set during the hottest part of the summer, the celebration of Summer takes place on the lake-shore for five days. It is a time of contests for the commons and the nobles alike, a time of social events for the young to mingle and meet with the intention of determining betrothals, and escape the heat of Bordelaix for a time. The dukes and their families are invited to partake and share in the lake's cooling waters.
The Harvest Festival - October 23 - November 5:
A two week long period devoted to thanksgiving, celebrating a fruitful harvest, and remembering those who have passed on, the Harvest Festival is a time of lavish parties and balls, merrymaking and feasting whether noble or common born. The most noteworthy dates of the Festival are October 31, The Day of Masks, and November 1, Remembrance Day.
The Festival of the Architect - December 24 - January 1:
This celebrates the week in which the Architect built the World and gave it life. The odd days are solemn, given to rites in the churches and spent in acts of charity, while the even days are for the families and friends, the final day and night ending in a bonfire, feast and dancing. It also welcomes the new year and invites the Architect's plan for the new year.
