The Banquet of Delight is the most important festival of the Halean religious year. It begins on the first and ends on the seventh of Halane and a yearly high-point for worshipper of Halea. This seven day series of ritual and sensualist pleasures is believed to symbolize the eternal delights that a pious adherent can expect to enjoy in Corsilea, the Halean heaven.
Public processions and outdoor festivals are common, especially Eleri Plays, which are stylized public dramatizations of aspects of Halean theology. The plays are performed by scantily attired priestesses to large and attentive audiences. The festival ends on the seventh of Halane with a special temple ritual for adherents only.
