On page 33 of 169 Kindled Magic it talks about having holidays that various students and staff will celebrate. I was thinking of keeping it fairly simple and populating with a few important holidays among the ones mentioned. Along with giving suggestions to the group on what might be a good one for their character.
Outside of this are there holidays the school celebrates? I was thinking of a day to celebrate the establishment of the school but I do not know if future books or sidebars within those will go into more detail and I potentially overlap something! Thank you!
The Mwangi Expanse book says "Nantambiyans mark solstices and equinoxes with a week of feasting, the first day is always dedicated to Old Mage Jatambe and the Ten Warriors, while the last day is dedicated to venerating ancestors. The days between are divided among feast days and , often weddings. These feast days are not part of any month, and an extra day is added for the new year"
Not sure if that helps you, but it sounds like if one of your player characters in your group is particularly devout, it might be a good place to slip in a 'feast day' to their preferred deity?
LO: The Mwangi Expanse also mentions Nantambu, being full of canals, is mad about boat racing. The BIGGEST race is 1st regatta of the spring season. Even after the race, it becomes something of a parade.
Again, hope that helps

This is fantastic reply. Some really good ideas. It's good to know there is a "jatambe" day. I'll get populating it now.
Glad it helped!
