Capítulo 169: Cultures

The city of Klento, on the east coast of the Kingdom of Athína, was an economic and maritime center, so it was transformed into a true spectacle during the New Year's festivities. The streets, usually busy and crowded with merchants and sailors, were decorated with sparkling lights and ornaments of all colors and shapes.

Just like Christmas on Earth, the rich developed the custom of lighting and decorating their homes to make them even more conspicuous. Over time, the poor, trying to look a little richer, began to do the same, and so it became the custom for most houses in Klento to be decorated with lights and ornaments.

From the most opulent mansions to the humblest fishermen's cottages, they shone under the cover of night.

The festivities culminated in a splendid feast that attracted visitors from all the nearby towns and even from overseas, such as the three large islands.
