| Temples and shrines dedicated to Ava are brightly lit with torches, braziers, and polished reflective surfaces. It is the job of many of the younger acolytes and clerics to tend these flames and ensure they never go out. Most have a large, glass skylight to allow direct sunlight to shine on the rituals and congregants. | Temples and shrines dedicated to Ava are brightly lit with torches, braziers, and polished reflective surfaces.

| - | Summer is the holy season for Ava. As spring gives way to summer, her temples ring out with the sounds of metal work and the furious scratching of pens on parchment, as the first day of her holy season is considered the best time to begin new projects and research. The summer solstice is the holiest day of the year, and is celebrated with competitions of all sort: wrestling, weapon demonstrations, and debates. At the end of summer, devotees burn offerings to the goddess. Most common are meat, bread, and incense, but many scholars offer the first copy of their research they have accomplished during the year. | + | Summer is the holy season for Ava.
