It is said that, on the night Prince Haiman and Miss Regina got married five hundred years ago, the people of Emerald City, spared from the ravages of war, wept tears of joy. Spontaneously, they organized a night-long revel that swept through the entire city:
Citizens carried torches in a parade, danced with abandon, sang heartily, and drank merrily, while Prince Haiman and Regina, adorned with their bridal wreaths, joined hands to step out of the palace and into the ceaseless dance procession of the people, accepting cheers and blessings from the entire city. Thus, the jubilant night reached the pinnacle of festivity.
That is the origin of the "Queen's Day" and the Emerald celebration—with its "Everlasting Banquet" tradition.
