Lliira's Night

Lliira's Night was an annual Waterdhavian festival that honored the goddess Lliira.

History
By the late 15 century DR, this festival had spread from its native Waterdeep to the city of Baldur's Gate and across the Sword Coast. Around this time, a store in Baldur's Gate by the name of Felogyr's Fireworks used smokepowder fireworks to celebrate the event and over time it quickly became a staple tradition within the holiday.

Activities
The festival consisted primarily of dances and balls, which were held throughout the city of Waterdeep. The highpoint of these nightly balls was the "Cynosure Ball", which was jointly sponsored by the Church of Lliira's clergy, the local nobility, and the Lords of Waterdeep. Outside of formal balls, carefree dancing and various other pursuits that fell within the goddess's purview were prevalent in festhalls all throughout Waterdeep.

During this holiday, many were known to dye their clothes or armor in colors of blue, antique gold, and coppery-orange. Many were also known to wear ceremonial, star-shaped masks.
