Editing Diaphane (section)

====Sky Day====

The city of Diaphane celebrates Sky Day... by going sky-clad. No native of the city wears clothing on that day -- they hide nothing of themselves from the world. Although outsiders and children find the celebration strange and titillating, to citizens it is a solemn occasion for introspection.

It is said that on Sky Day those who shed all concealment to walk naked gain the ability to see what is concealed in the Invisible World, as well -- they can clearly see the invisible spirit-citizens of Diaphane on that day. Outsiders occasionally attempt to participate in the festival, but rarely succeed; they lack the secret lore of transparency that allows natives to comfortably walk unclothed. Sky Day occurs in the dead of winter, and most non-natives who go sky-clad usually see visions because of hypothermia, not enlightenment.
