a summer solstice celebration in sartrill, honoring the crakam and rau-kaksen gods sekuuti and akestur, but the event itself focuses moreso on the former... More about it below

sekuuti being associated with, and being seen as according to legend, the Sun and thusly responsible for the day, obviously hints towards being the focus of the celebration... but the "reasoning" for the tradition actually comes from a belief about akestur during the long days of summer.

akestur, the moon and night, is in an eternal chase after sekuuti according to rau-kaksen and crakam legend. over the course of the year akestur is put under pressure, and it is during summer where his doubts become the greatest. his flight pattern becomes irregular, and it is almost as if he paces himself in a way to avoid sekuuti, his nights become short and sekuuti's days longer.

during the celebration, a large feast is organised and usually a play is performed by the community, usually involving two adult actors, one rau-kaksen and one crakam (sekuuti and akestur respectively), and a few younger actors to represent the first rau-kaksen and crakam, and the "origin story" of both peoples is retold. later, religious community leaders tell stories of ancestors, and then also pleads with sekuuti herself - basically reminding her of the eternal pursuit, and that she needs to resume the chase, and pursue akestur until their pace is in synch again. in the Lore sekuuti is seen as a person who does need a reminder every once in a while of course...

it is common that summer solstice is a bigger thing among rau-kaksen communities, since its more associated with sekuuti, but it is important to crakam too, but they usually only attend the celebrations later as they have a crepuscular disposition while basilisks have a diurnal one. but thats also why the "important stuff" usually happens at an optimal time for both to attend.
