Shieldmeet

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

Shieldmeet is 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.
