			* '''Makers' Mass'''. Held around midwinter this festival can take up to a week. It is held to celebrate industry in all its forms and certificates are awarded to individuals and shops who created the best masterpiece or were the most productive, etc. In [[Avale]] this festival is often the time the guilds promote their members.
			* '''Opus Day'''. On this day, celebrated once per month at most temples, craftspeople can approach any priest and request their help with creating an outstanding piece of work. Reasonable requests cannot be denied by the clergy without a very good reason.
