Despite its great economic success, Opulentia has a weak military power. The only reason they haven't been conquered by more powerful kingdoms is due to their influence in the international trade market and how many different kingdoms have crippling debts owed to them. However, they are still lacking. For this reason, they wish to ally themselves with the kingdom of Sol through marriage so they might have that advantage of a better military might.

This holiday is specifically for women. This is when women dress in white to celebrate femininity and purity, characteristics that all women strive for in Opulentia. Often women will prepare dances for their households and private ones for their husbands. Woman are treated as precious on this day with others serving them before they return to their subservient roles and go back to serving their husbands and the men of their family once again. Often this is the only day women receive proper respect for the work they do as they often are shunned in everyday society, especially those who seek to do more than serving their family and helping their husbands.
