The Summer Passage of Arms is the Divine Principality's equivalent of the Olympics.
As much an event as an organization, it is a committee that holds a yearly competition of athletics, martial prowess, cultural acumen, and all else expected in a hero of the Divine Principality. As such, each Stel serves as patron to an official team, though smaller organizations (Progressive Asterist churches, Stel Orion corporations, Columnar regional funds, etc.) are known to send their own teams.
The event is held annually on the Partizan, the only place that all five Stels' territories border; results are shared, albeit slowly, across the whole of the Principality. Sponsored teams are required to compete across five different events, one for each Stel.[1] Though key events change from Summer to Summer, they often include an element of hollow proficiency.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
Dahlia is known to have swept the Summer Passage the year of their majority by winning six events,[2] although their title and accolades were bequeathed to the Elect Licania upon Dahlia's ascension as Princept.[3]
1423 PM Summer Passage[edit | edit source]
In the Summer Passage that took place in 1423 PM, the five main events were hollow sumo wrestling (Stel Apostolos); synchronized sharpshooting (Stel Kesh); poetry (Stel Nideo); a swimming/bartering biathlon (Stel Orion); and the Divine Providence, a race and obstacle course that tests each competitor's endurance and agility (Stel Columnar).[1] Though they were not official events, participants were also encouraged to participate through a general display of style, and a non-ranked demonstration of spear technique.[2]
Members of nascent Millennium Break swept the year's games, with Thisbe sweeping the sumo wrestling event, Milli winning at sharpshooting, Broun emerging victorious in the biathlon, a disguised Gur Sevraq winning the poetry competition, and AO Rooke acing Providence.[1]
Dogmatic Mettle was seriously injured in the mech sumo semifinal, leading to his retirement from the sport.[4]
