Gideons Day

Gideon's Day, also known as Founder's Day, marks the anniversary of the creation of Aurumburg.

Foundation
When Gideon Aurum was founding Aurumburg, he decided he wanted to create a celebration to commemorate the day. The city was created a few days prior to Gideon's birthday, so he decided to wait until then to formally declare the new city. Gideon's Day is on the same day as his birthday.

Celebration
Each year, Gideon and the rest of the Aurum Family, as well as other notable figures, parade through the whole city, seeking appreciation from the citizens. People in the slums tend to dislike this celebration, as it rubs the massive wealth inequality into their faces. People in the panning district put up with it in an attempt to gain good favor from the upper class. The rich tend to celebrate excessively.

As it is Gideon's birthday, he requests that all give him a special birthday present. All citizens are expected to pay an extra Gideon's day tax.
