Beltain 7
Observed by: The merchants of the Island of Marosh
Type: Regional
Frequency: Annual
Scheduled to coincide with the Spring Summit, a holy day of Minos the Cockerel, the Day of Binding Coin is Seahaven’s most important mercantile festival, honoring Minos the Cockerel, god of commerce, and Fides the Oathbinder, god of oaths. On this day, major contracts, trade agreements, and shipping charters are formally signed within the Keelmarket and the great halls of commerce. Priests of Minos oversee the weighing of coin and fairness of terms, while clergy of Fides witness oaths that bind parties under divine sanction. Markets overflow with goods, and smaller traders seek patrons or partnerships, hoping to secure their fortunes for the coming season. Though outwardly orderly, the day is also rife with intrigue, as deals are struck, alliances formed, and rivalries quietly sharpened.
