Restdays have been established by various kings of Rangplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigRang History

Early origins of Rang

Rang is said to be half as old as the world. The first settlers of the territory came from the cold regions to the northwest of Rang. The people were scattered, organized only on the clan level, and united only on the rare occasion when there was war with the equally disorganized tribes to the south and west. The balance between the northwestern shepherds and the southern farmers was maintained only because no war was big enough to conquer more than a couple … over the years, to celebrate a person (religious, political or mythical figure) or an historical event. Some of these days have endured through time, while others have faded. It is no coincidence that these are balanced heavily toward the winter, when there is no work to do in the fields.

Drannenveldt, King Diure the First, declared the first day of each month a rest day.

The first day of the third week of every month was declared a restday by Diure LIV, Diure the Unwise. Although his reign was brief and he was not well-liked, no king has been able to even speak of revoking this restday without risk of popular revolt.

Corronation Day celebrates the corronation of King Diure LXIV, on the tenth of Garinon (2/10). It was declared a restday three years into his reign.
