Sheelala - Spring Festival

Sheelala - Spring Festival

Sheelala marks the beginning of a new cycle of Nature's life. The ground has become soft again; it is a time to plant seeds for the autumnal harvest. The holiday draws inspiration from Yavanna, the Valier of Earth and Flora. When Yavanna saw how bare Sosaria looked, she took a part of Her celestial being and formed it into a flower. The flower, most beautiful and perfect of the creations, sprouted seeds and a new plant was born of each. Soon, lush forests covered the bare ground, and Yavanna's flower became the mightiest of trees: Oak of Wisdom and Immortality. With the coming of Dawn on Sheelala, Aerdrie Faenya, patroness of fertility and herald to Yavanna's mysteries, descends to Sosaria to melt the last of the winter's snow. It is a day of great joy among Elves, for it symbolizes the beginning of a new life - ideal cherished by each Elf.

The evening of Sheelala is spent in a grand and lavish celebration. Elves partake in laughter and song, often dancing to the cheerful music played by the mistrals and bards. Melira Taralen, patroness of bards and their song, is said to visit Sosaria to inspire the jovial music played for Yavanna and the Elves. It is no wonder, then, that Elves often whisper of enchanted instruments which each must dance to, young or old, when but a note is played. The celebration of Sheelala continues far into the night. Lanterns are lit around Sosaria to show the Light of Birth as Life is celebrated in all its beauty.
