The Solwarm Festival is an annual[1] Belobogian festival that celebrates the arrival of spring.[2]
Overview[]
The Solwarm Festival was first established sometime before the Eternal Freeze, back when Jarilo-VI had seasonal changes. Nowadays, the original meaning has been lost and people regard the festival as simply "a few days off."[2]
Suncakes, a food similar in appearance and recipe to pancakes, are the traditional snack of the Solwarm Festival. According to customs, a newlywed husband should bring ingredients and make suncakes with his mother-in-law.[1]
Sometime after Natasha took over the Rivet Town orphanage but before its evacuation, the Rivet Town Administrative Committee and Chamber of Commerce planned a seven-day-long celebration of the Solwarm Festival. The Administrative Committee would set up a celebration area in the plaza for various activities, the Chamber of Commerce would hold a garden party on the business street, and unlimited food and beverages would be provided throughout.[3] It is unknown if these plans were actually carried through.
In recent years, the standard Solwarm celebrations have been suspended due to the Fragmentum and the lockdown between the Overworld and Underworld.[4] In 700 AF/2158 AE, Supreme Guardian Bronya planned to hold the Solwarm Festival to lift everyone's spirits after the Eternal Freeze had ended. However, Topaz of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department arrived to collect a massive debt from Belobog. After negotiations were held between Bronya and Topaz, most citizens became occupied with reconstruction of the Engine of Creation, which put the festivities on hold.[5]
