Shieldmeet

Shieldmeet was the equivalent of a leap year day in the Calendar of Harptos and this festival occurred once every four years, adding a day to the end of the month of Flamerule. Traditionally the day was used for fayres and gatherings at which people competed in tournaments and the noble people interacted freely with the commoners. Entertainment in the form of theatre and music was provided, as well as the option to view the tournaments themselves.

Shieldmeet was known as Cinnaelos'Cor "the Day of Corellon's Peace" in elven and marked the end of an aeloulaev and the beginning of a new one in the elven Aryselmalyn calendar.
