Liberation Day

Liberation Day is a holiday in the Empire of Trynser which is celebrated on Ulthrane 17 to commemorate the date of the liberation of all slaves in the First Empire. In the early years of the First Empire, Trynser actually had slaves, but after a number of bloody revolts, and protests from progressive minded individuals the practice was abandoned. Since then, Trynser has been a leading critic against slavery, sometimes leading it into conflict against its neighbors.
This holiday is celebrated less enthusiastically than others... there's no slaves to liberate. Work generally goes on as usual, only there may be plays and speeches encouraging and celebrating worldwide emancipation. The Slave of Jartapur by Alman Dragonkin is often performed in Old Palace Ward in Trynser City for Liberation Day. This is generally a palace holiday.
