Their main purpose at this point is to provide something interesting and interconnecting for the various artists to do, such as [[poet]]s, [[dancer]]s, or [[instrument]]alists.

The game looks at the [[values]] and [[ethics]] of the civilization and the overall purpose of the occasion to come up with the schedule of events -- performances, competitions (from art to various races to wrestling, etc.), processions and ceremonies, with various little details. Some examples include candle processions, poetry recitals, foot races or throwing competitions. |
