Library Database: Ka'laat undefi Moorb

Ka'laat undefi Moorb - a Tiburonian holiday celebrating consciousness, "being awake" or the waking world (as opposed to the dream world.) It's celebration goes back millennia to the first recorded city-states, when ceremonial dancers would sing and dance around a fire for 31 straight hours while the towns children drank a syrupy, sugary drink made from the malted sap of the Moorb tree.

In modern times, it is celebrated across Tiburon by the over indulgence in a similar Moorb soda-pop, staying awake for 31 hours straight, and a dance in a communal space. Businesses are typically open for 31 hours straight as well during the day, though alcoholic drinking is discouraged.

The timing of the holiday is on the Summer solsctice - or the longest day of the year, for the City of Kohrmut'to (a major empirical capital in ancient times.) The day offering the most sunlight is considered the day when Tiburonians should be awake the most, likewise, on the shortest day of the year is a celebration of the dream world.

Culturally, in certain religions it is said that with prayer - family in comas, or suffering from an energy draining illness will get better either for this day alone - or they will be healed completely on this day.
