|Introduction=**Veshariin**, known as the Harmonic Days, is a recurring ceremonial interval observed across Orasian society. Rooted in the belief that the stone realm itself breathes in cycles, Veshariin marks a period of public stillness, harmonic alignment, and spiritual recalibration. Rather than a single event, it is a synchronized pause observed across major districts and settlements, most centrally within [[Kar-Thal]].
|Introduction='''Veshariin''', known as the Harmonic Days, is a recurring ceremonial interval observed in Kar-Thal. Rooted in the belief that the stone realm itself breathes in cycles, it's a celebration of [[Oras]] and the memory of stone.
|Origins and Purpose=Veshariin is believed to originate from the earliest tonal teachings of [[Oras]], passed down through the first Rite-Keepers. Its purpose is to renew civic resonance with the living memory of the land, ensuring that law, speech, and labor remain in balance with subterranean rhythms.
|Origins and Purpose=Historical records carved within the [[Ashlar Vaults]] describe Veshariin as “feast of games." While the games themelves are unknown, these records indicate that Veshariin has been celebration since the early days of [[Duranthi]] society in Kar-Thal.
|Practices and Observance=Veshariin is observed over a span of four days. During this time:


Historical records carved within the [[Ashlar Vaults]] describe Veshariin as “the held tone between decrees,” symbolizing a space where neither past nor future are spoken. In that stillness, [[Orasians]] reaffirm their alignment to ancestral memory.
The beginning of Veshariin is marked by a chime struck in every district simultaneously, followed by a descending hum from all participants. The closing of Veshariin involves a single rising tone by those still present.
|Practices and Observance=Veshariin is observed over a span of five to seven days, depending on regional resonance conditions. During this time:
|Cultural Significance=Veshariin is the most popular festival in Kar-Thal and subsequently Duranthi society. Council sessions pause, archives are sealed, and work suspended.
 
|Ancestral Spirit=From the continuous celebration of Veshariin, the Ancestral spirit of Veshar emerged. Sometimes seen throughout the cycle wandering the halls of Kar-Thal, Veshar always makes an appearance on his namesake where people give gifts and celebrate his arrival.
* Public speech is suspended except in ceremonial tones.
* Work ceases in all non-essential roles.
* Citizens descend into harmonic sanctuaries such as [[Surn’s Refuge]] or local resonance halls.
* Families gather for tonal synchronizations—communal hums or chants that align breath and vibration.
 
The beginning of Veshariin is marked by a **silence chime** struck in every district simultaneously, followed by a descending hum known as the **First Stillwave**. The closing of Veshariin involves a single rising tone from the **Echo Altars**, symbolizing the return of civic rhythm.
|Regional Variants=* In [[Dul-Val]], Veshariin includes the “Ore Prayer,” a silent procession to the quarry edges.
* In [[Mar-Thal]], echo-linguists record variations in tone between Veshariin cycles as indicators of civic health.
* In [[Djes-Val]], resonance students participate in **Stilltone Trials**, testing their harmonic focus.
