Seasonal Cycle

  • Spring: Coral-Bloom Festival celebrating new polyp growth and the renewal of reef ecosystems.
  • Summer: Tide-Rite—rituals honoring the warm currents and the spirits of the thermal vents; peak season for surface trade.
  • Autumn: Harvest of Pearls, gathering luminous deep-sea gems and bioluminescent flora.
  • Winter: Deep-Rest, a period of reduced activity as cold currents sweep the ocean floor; communities turned inward for teaching, contemplation, and intimate performance.
