- Julika: Adaisa's Day
- The rain echos lightly on your window as you wake up to this warm rainy spring day on the 1st of Julika. Spring, the time when everything blooms and grows big and strong, is a favorite time of year for you and many other Ambrivans. It is time to start preparing for Adaisa's Day, and you intend this to be the best holiday you have ever had! Bouncing out of bed, you scramble to tame your hair and brush your teeth before sitting down at your desk, tail flopped lazily aside, to address the rocks you have been collecting for months.... Adaisa is the patron saint to Wawrea, the Goddess of the Bloom. She is said to have befriended Wawrea long ago when the world was still dark and without life. The combined powers of Adaisa and Wawrea is what started the first bloom. And now Adaisa makes it rain to remind Ambrivans true love takes two to grow strong and beautiful.
- A traditional rain dance performed at the Palace
This musical showcases how life begins anew under the nourishing rains of spring, and how the hand of Adaisa lifts everyone and everything up with her benevolence and kindness. - The painting of and hiding of inspirational themed rocks
These fist-sized rocks are painted with all kinds of pictures and sayings that Ambrivans find inspiring or helpful. They are hid all over the Palace grounds, courtyard, maze, and some families get together and hide them throughout Habrina City too! In other cities and smaller cities, authorities and leaders set their own rock hunts too! - Adaisa's Hunt
The finding of hidden inspirational rocks. Rocks found can be kept or regifted to someone you cherish. If an Imperial finds your rock and likes it so much that they keep it, they will put it forever on display in the palace courtyard! - Spring has Sprung Ball at the Palace
The ball consists of lots of frilly springy clothes, not so much ballgowns or anything too formal. The dance is intended to be semi-formal and for all ages! Lots of delicious foods to try and games for kids to play too! - The Springtime Market
Merchants from everywhere come to sell their springtime themed goods. Clothes, shoes, umbrellas, toy boats for streams and lakes, etc can be found for cheap during this time!

- Damaru: Erd's Bleassing
- Erd, the patron saint to Mammuna (the Goddess of Magic), is celebrated today for her forethought to transfer Mammuna's ambient magic into the gems of Ambaran. In doing so, Ambrivans are able to learn and use magic, combine magic in new ways with life and technology, and help heal themselves and the world they live in. On the days before Erd's Blessing is celebrated, Ambrivans gather together in groups and practice magical shows, talents, and acrobatics. They sign up for individual, small group, and large group slots and, the day of Erd's Blessing, they display their abilities in great shows of showmanship! The Imperials wrap up the celebration with a show of their own (in Habrina City only - though it is televised for the nation).

- Lith: The Burying of Eves
- Wawrea, the Goddess of the Bloom, spends her time filled with life and love. She brings to her beautiful people glad tidings that all things that die will soon bloom with life again. During the Burying of Eves, Ambrivans spend their evenings planting new life as the summer heat wanes with the diminishing day. Life blooms three times as fast, and often Ambrivans can see new life sprouting just days after planting seeds. This time is also used to relive past memories with loved ones who have passed on by burying objects from their previous life. The lives of the deceased are celebrated in the evening with a flower or tree planted in their honor over the buried item...

Celestial Guide
Magic is stronger and much more WILD on days with New Moons, Full Moons, or any other celestial happening like planetary alignments, meteor showers, shooting stars, etc. Also, because of this, Ambrivans CAN create portals to nearby worlds during these events. The closer the planet, the easier it is to create a portal. Planetary Alignments paired with new or full moons prove to be the most potent combinations for Ambaran portals to work. Tho be wary, portals are only open for 24 hours... Don't let your Ambrivan get stuck on a nearby planet all alone...
