Cerulian Day
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Cerulian Day is an observance of the elves connected with Aquaron. It is believed that the god taught the elves seafaring ages ago. Why he gave land-dwellers this gift, letting them into his own domain, remains a mystery, for he is not known for his mercy.1
The sinking ship
Every decade the elves build a ship of perfect beauty. They place offerings of personal significance inside it, and they write poems praising the beauty of the sea and load the scrolls aboard. The master shipbuilder then drills holes in the deck, and once the whole crew has gone ashore, the ship is left to the sea's guidance with its sails open. In time it takes on water and sinks, to rest forever with all its offerings in the embrace of the Blue God.1
Some similar customs are practised by the Farians, who probably learned them from the elves, though this is not certain.1
