Parkeanna na Vianna is an ilanean holiday taking place on the spring solstice of every year. Often colloquially shortened to Vianna, Parkenna na Vianna is dedicated to celebrating the mating season of Vianna Deers, a domesticated animal in ilanean nations. The holiday originated from ilanean mythology about Kaolina and Foraois.
Origin
The Vianna Deer (particularly the stag) is a strong and fast domesticated creature. The Vianna Stag was used as the primary mode of transport for heavy cargo and people before motor vehicles were invented, as such the Vianna were highly approved by ilaneans.
There is also a legend surrounding the Vianna mating season and why it occurs every solstice. Ilaneans say that Kaolina was having a flute concert for God of the wild, the forest, life, death and the wild hunt, Foraois. Her parents Eusk and Njordr wanted to impress and befriend Foraois so they pressured Kaolina to practice hard for the concert. On the day of the concert Kaolina was nervous and began to play the wrong notes and Foraois was furious aswell as her parents. Eusk and Njordr encouraged Foraois to adopt Kaolina as a show of solidarity and Foraois accepted however Foraois instead verbally abused Kaolina for her failure, took her tin flute, replaced it with one of oak and sent her to a tower in what would now be called Assumptaria. She was tasked with playing "Chukfidh an Erok" or "Spring Will Come" to signify to the Vianna that their mating season has begun.
Celebration
The Vianna Holiday is celebrated by fasting on Salmon and Tuna (the diet of the Vianna Deer) and hunting the wolves and coyotes because they are the natural predators of the Vianna Deer. Those who do not want to hunt usually just fast, play an oak flute or if they have a pet Vianna feed it.
