Age Day

Age Day is the term used for the comming of age in the Velum Empire in the Aether's Revival series.

While the date for a particular place depends on the location within the Velum Empire, this date is the same each year.

For example, the Alturis age day is 2 days short of Midsummer each year.

Proctors go place to place, testing the children who are reaching adulthood.

It is common for traveling merchants to come and set up for the day.

The main event of the day is the Comming of Age Ritual.

It also seems to be tradition or an edict of the empire that a new adults first drink is payed for by the empire.

Alturis also had a variety of contests and games to celebrate the day, though it is uncertain if other places have similar.
