Thousand Wisdoms
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
Thousand Wisdoms (Baranxeï Varā Valnaja) is the name of an important festival in Ēmandē that celebrates the creation of humanity.
The Name
The name refers a specific aspect of the Baranxtuan creation myth; namely, when humanity was created by Mēlēja, they received a gift (or a "wisdom", valna) from each god, in the end totalling one thousand gifts, hence the name.
Actually, the word varā is etymologically related to valna.
