Armasse

The raucous, week-long festival known as Armasse is held each year beginning on 16 Arodus. The celebration—once dedicated to the god Aroden—is still important to the faithful of Iomedae, who use it to train commoners in combat, ordain apprentice clergy, pick squires for knights, and teach military history, hoping to prevent the mistakes of the past from being repeated. Among those not dedicated to the Inheritor the holiday has lost most of its religious significance since Aroden's death, tending now only toward wild partying, a fact that has precluded the diabolist authorities of Cheliax from prohibiting Armasse outright. Nevertheless, in places where the church of Asmodeus is openly allowed, it hosts special activities for its parishioners during the same week in an effort to counter the influence of the holiday. The city of Corentyn is especially known for its extravagant Armasse festivities.

Kenabres
Traditionally an opportunity for scholars and priests to come together to study the lessons of history from wars past, since Aroden’s death, this holy day has become more about training commoners in weaponry, choosing squires, and ordaining new priests. Over time, Armasse has grown to encompass jousting competitions, mock duels, battle reenactments, and other festival events. In Kenabres, the festival takes place on 16 Arodus 4713) and was eagerly anticipated, for it was to provide a distraction from the horrors of being on the front line of the war. Smiles on faces normally marred by downcast eyes and furrowed brows did wonders for city morale in the weeks leading up to the event. Armasse is a citywide celebration, but the majority of the event, including its jousting matches and other entertainments, takes place at Clydwell Plaza, just west of Clydwell Cathedral.
