Dragon Age - Thedas

Dairsmuid is the capital city of Rivain and the seat of its monarchy. The Chantry has little authority in Rivain outside of Dairsmuid. Twice a year, all seers–specially trained mages of Rivain–travel to Dairsmuid to meet in an event called the Allsmet where they publicly pledge loyalty to Rivain's queen. Allsmet is also an opportunity to make trade arrangements and pass binding judgements. Decision made during that time are seen as very auspicious. Celebrations surrounding the Allsmet include feasts, gift exchanges, and musical contests.
