Hope Gala

The Hope Gala is a gala focusing on events revolving around the affairs of the Lesser Ones. Ideally, they would occur twice a year. The Hope Gala is celebrated mainly by the farmers who pray for a successful crop. Sadly, in the previous years, all festivals were banned from taking place as the empire was still recovering from the economic depression the Rebellion of the Dead had created. But now that the empire has restored a major chunk of its thriving iron industry with the help of the Penn Bloodline, Father has agreed upon for these events. This year the galas are set to happen at the end of the planting and at the end of the harvest.

On the day of the gala, all other activities are paused for the time being. All businesses involving the Lesser Ones are shut down for the day. Empire offices and military offices are also closed for the day. In reality, it is not an “official” holiday, but it is understood that no work will be tended to that day.

The galas held within the city are not nearly as glorious as the galas held within towns. In the rural tribes it is celebrated in an even larger scale. The harvest gala is mostly an agriculture event, conducting events such as contests for the best produce, best livestock, craft making and so on. The galas are often attended by the Master Race, as the official chief guests. This also helps in creating a bond or a friendly relationship between the two classes of society.
