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. As Partizan is the rare place where all five Stels meet, the event is held on the moon yearly, with results shared (albeit slowly) across the whole of the Principality. Though key events change from Summer to Summer, they often include an element of hollow proficiency.[1]
History
For the Summer Passage of 1423 (during the events of PARTIZAN) sponsored teams were required to compete across hollow wrestling, synchronized sharp shooting, poetry, the biathlon, and the Divine Providence, a race and obstacle course that tests each competitors endurance and agility. Though they were not official events, patrons were also encouraged to participate through a general display of style, and a non-ranked demonstration of spear technique.[1]
Dahlia is known to have swept the Summer Passage the year of their majority by winning six events.[1]
