| == Local Holidays: Cinco de Orbraze and Cinco de Cuatro ==
| |
| The exact year the construction of the Lighthouse was completed is uncertain, but everyone in Seawell agrees it was completed on the 5th day of Orbraze, the fifth month of the year on the [[Quelmar Calendar]]. The city has a festival every year on that date to celebrate the success of the city - with the completion of the Lighthouse, Seawell was no longer a remote sandbar for marooned sailors, but a stable city in its own right. In an ancient dialect of Draconic, which many of the first marooned sailors in the city spoke, Cinco was the word for "five," so this holiday took the name, even though most residents primarily speak in Common now, or at least more modern dialects of Draconic.

| Cinco de Orbraze had festive celebrations with colorful costumes, flavorful food from each culture that had arrived to Seawell over the centuries, and a variety of beverages. The city square would be decorated with bright colorful lights in honor of the Lighthouse that had brought the city fortune. Basically everyone enjoyed it and looked forward to it all year. Though there were exceptions:

| Recently, the Bluth family wanted to develop more land, but the once-mostly empty farmland surrounding downtown was getting more and more crowded, and there were no powerful mages to clear wide swaths of swampland anymore as Claudia Lonato had in ancient times. Lucretia Bluth turned her sights on the Town Square itself for future luxury apartments. To clear people off of the square, she would need to reduce the people's excitement for Cinco de Orbraze. Thirty years prior to the start of The Wicked Wilds, Lucretia held the first annual Cinco de Cuatro event, the day before Cinco de Orbraze, in an attempt to buy all the food and decorations so there wouldn't be any left for the traditional holiday.

| |
| This backfired spectacularly however, as people then had two days to celebrate! Mages from the community college were able to craft more decorations, and a fleet of ships carrying food happened to crash ashore that day, bringing so much food it couldn't possibly be eaten in one day.
| |
|
| |
| And how many ships were in that fleet on the fourth day of the month? Four, and the main vessel was coincidentally named The Cuatro. Thus, Cinco de Cuatro, sometimes called Sinko de Cuatro, was born, commemorating when hundreds more sailors arrived in town, carrying a wonderful feast for all to enjoy.
