In the seaside port of Velas, it is Sun Day, the Long Day, the Day of High Sun, the most holy 20 hours of the year. Visitors from across the region have come to visit their families, to celebrate in the streets, and to sweat under the heat of Samothese's Gift. But when not everyone in town lives to see the sun rise, the party is recruited to investigate the murder... and the conspiracy behind it. Inspired by Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, by Raymond Edwards, Suzanne Goldberg, and Gary Grady. Check out the investigation documents here! And the map of Velas here!

Yeah, no, no, listen I had to be some sort of idiots do that twice Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh The week in Hyron is broken down into seven days today is Sunday Sunday is of course named for the Sun in the sky Which gives us the light we need to do our work and then of course there's t's day name for sameti is formerly Sameti is who put the Sunday sky and then gave us its fire and made and made from it tools so that we could do And then old day from Sam all who donates his body and blood to be worked on followed by tine day for sameti for Sameti She yields us while we work trade thing to play and sleep On stay for samata once called cevaria by the old people who blows the wind in our into our sails So that we may trade our work. Oh today for Samote Now known as sameti who taught us how to work and how to relax when the work is done Finally there is kin dead for del and three our twin moves who whisper love to us as we drift off to sleep Kin day of course was originally the name of them the middle clans gave to the weekly day of reckoning though recent findings complicate matters It was long believed that this was a day in which families executed any rule breakers inside of their own clan and decided Who would count as kin for the week to come? But today it's Sunday and not just any Sunday It's the Sunday the long day the day of the high Sun Once a year sometimes sometime in the final month of the year the Sun offers its light to us for 20 full hours No one knows exactly when it will be though by mid-year the cloud watchers are consistently able to narrow it down to one specific week For the week before the week people across vellas in fact across the whole region of hyron prepare for the festival Special dishes are made everyone puts together their holiday outfits distant family members travel to vellas to spend the holiday with their metropolitan relatives on The day of high Sun Everyone celebrates life love family relaxation and creativity the things we work for all year Some celebrate the day privately among their close kin sitting on their roofs with a glass of a cold cocktail Others celebrate in mass with parades competitions and tons of other joyful activities There's lots of color fashion interesting signage singing Everything is bright to take advantage of the light the high Sun offers and there's lots of hats because it is very hot And when the long day the day of high Sun ends the week resets that day whatever day It was before becomes the new Sunday and we move on from there The days get shorter much shorter in the months that follow the light dims And though things never really get cold remember it hasn't snowed in vellas since before the erasure the weather after the long day is more temperate perfect for harvesting It is now the second to last day of the week of Sun the week that the day of high Sun will come in as is the custom The children of vellas have elected one of their own each night who will wait eyes blurry and hopeful for the Sun to rise early Today it is little Danielle high-town yawning being a lull to sleep by the distant crashing waves against the coastline She's so tired But she's also proud to have the chance to announce to the city is that the celebration should begin and she's also hopeful It will be Sunday if only so so that she knows that school will be canceled and as luck has it It is Sunday is here. She sees the Sun cresting over the hills to the east and she hops down from her rooftop stool She runs down the stairs of the empty building and out into the streets
