==Background== Elucina was the eighteenth String Person to rebel, though she was the first to succeed and helped kill the Threadmakers. She would live for over two thousand years, were she would still keep rebelling and fight for other imprisoned folk, even killing some of her folk, like royal String People who enslaved others, before being killed by being blasted apart. Before her death the String Folk wanted to use her name to create a holiday for the day they won their freedom, but Elucina apparently objected to a day named after her. As such, they simply rearranged her name to '''Cinaelu'''. Thus, when they call Cinaelu, what they actually say is, ‘Elucina’s weave be yours’, which mean freedom. Originally it was supposed to be about the freedom to create yourself, as back then, even face and form were not for String Golems to decide. It was also to remind those those who make chains, of spells, of metal or of the mind quake on this day. It was meant for the captors to give their enslaved captive free rein for a single day. A limited, very narrow set of freedoms. Yet ''freedom'' nonetheless. But very few of the captors would celebrate it as sometimes, the enslaved would turn the generosity back and use the loopholes in an errant command or order to enact terrible vengeance. So most wouldn’t have dared, even then. Over time everyone but a few remembered the true purpose for this day, like Djinni who lived in those days. By now it was just about the String Folk celebrating victory over the Threadmakers and other species who wanted to keep them as slaves, not freedom, to which beyond the grave, Elucina herself would be displeased for what now it represents and what her people had become.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/06/02/8-25-kh/ Chapter 8.25 KH]</ref> To add insult to injury, [[Roshal]] would create their own holiday, '''Leciaun''', which only they truly celebrate, especially in slave caravans. Celebrated a few days after Cinaelu, it is a day when the Slave Guards can do what they want to the Slaves. Everyone is fair game—everyone but the [Slaves] most favoured by the Slave Masters. The Slave Guards can’t permanently damage anything, but beyond that they’re free to do '''Anything'''.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/20/interlude-pisces-revised/ Interlude – Pisces]</ref>
