	Heart’s Day is a holiday that finds its roots in the [[~~Elves~~\|~~Elven~~ Nations]]. An accurate translation continues to elude scholars and linguists, but the original ~~Elven~~ day may actually pre-date the [[Empire of Roads]]. In the ~~Elven~~ tongue, the name means roughly “to champion a love so strong that two hearts become one”. Evidence suggests that in the ancient times this was a solemn occasion upon which to honor couples who had been married more than two centuries. In more modern times (to the ~~Elves~~, ‘modern times’ are defined as post-[[Mage Wars]]), it has evolved into a sort of celebration of love. Different regions celebrate it different ways, and few humans even realize it is not a human holiday at all, but in fact an extremely ancient ~~Elven~~ day.
