No one on Alinor marks the anniversary of the empire's fall, not even for mourning or paying respects.

No one marks the end of the Interim either, and only partially because time grew so vague during those years (months? decades? the former imperial citizens of Alinor collectively settle on years) that agreeing on a single date as their end would be next to impossible.

Alinor's children maintain decorum by the skin of their teeth, and draw a conspiracy of silence over things best left forgotten.
