A holiday held in Late Winter during which locals light lamps and keep them lit for a full twenty-four hours to welcome in good luck. 

This tradition originated in the [Daminya Region](wiki:/cultures-locations-and-stories/kingdom-sorovia/daminya-region), perhaps even before the days of the Galtea Protectorate - though early documentation cannot confirm this, several references do seem to indicate that the Lighting of the Lamps was already well-known in the region before the Galtea Protectorate rose to power. It is widely believed when the tradition first started, lights were only adorned on the Sucrax mountain range. This would serve as a signal to those in more remote areas that they had survived another harsh winter and, perhaps, that they had the means to help distant neighbors that were less lucky.

After the Daminya Region joined the [Kingdom of Sorovia](wiki:kingdom-sorovia) in 1305, word about the holiday began to spread back to the kingdom's mainland. It wouldn't be until half a decade later though that those in Sorovia proper would purposefully leave out small lanterns to celebrate the Lighting of the Lamps in earnest. 

There are some regional differences concerning celebrations. In the Daminya Region, an emphasis is placed on the abundance of light during the full day cycle. Bare candles, campfires, and other stand-ins are often used in place of proper lanterns. Elsewhere in Sorovia, the lamp is viewed just as important as - if not more so than - the light it emits. Great care is taken in making, buying, or finding a lantern that can house a "strong spirit" to "inflame good fortune" for the upcoming year.
