Holy Day

The Dragonscent - A pilgrimage for those bearing Veltura’s blood where they travel to Vel’Ruach and ascent its highest peak. Those who attempt this task believe they can ignite the deep dragon blood flowing within their veins and exceed their limits to which they grow usable wings. Though not specifically a Holy day within the Adestrian calendar, for the few that have completed the journey, it marks the moment they become a true Dragon and hold fast to that day each year as remembrance.
