**✨ What is Hıdrellez? ✨**

**Hıdrellez** (pronounced *Hid-rel-lez*) is a vibrant spring festival celebrated on **May 5th–6th** in Turkey, the Balkans, and other regions with Turkic and Islamic influences. It marks the meeting of the prophets **Hızır (Khidr)** and **İlyas (Elijah)**, who are believed to bring renewal, abundance, and miracles.

### 🌸 **Traditions & Beliefs**

- **Wishes & Rituals:** People write their dreams on paper or tie them to a "wish tree," then burn or release them into water, hoping they’ll come true.

- **Jumping Over Fires:** A purification ritual where leaping over bonfires symbolizes leaving bad luck behind.

- **Nature Celebrations:** Picnics, dancing, and music in green spaces honor the rebirth of nature.

- **Cleaning & Preparing:** Homes are cleaned, and special foods (like *kuzu dolma*, lamb dishes) are shared to welcome prosperity.

### 🔮 **Why May 5th–6th?**

In the old Rumi calendar, May 6th was considered the start of summer—**Hızır’s Day** (symbolizing life) and **İlyas’s Day** (water) merging into one celebration of hope.

**💫 "Hıdrellez is where magic feels real—wishes whispered to the wind might just come true."**

May your wishes come true 🌿🔥

Alright, I'm back sooner than expected.

So I just played Alhaitham's story quest and I NEED to talk about it. So, SPOILER WARNING for what's beneath the GIF.

Holy fucking shit that quest was so good.

Ok so. Let's begin with Ilyas. As soon as I saw him. I knew that this man was suspicious as fuck. Why? All right. First, you don't barge into the Akademiya with amnesia, barely being able to stand, have a family that is alive and send money to on a monthly basis, and have been "exprimented" on.

As soon as we learned that Siraj didn't like Alhaitham. I don't know what happened but it just clicked to me that Ilyas was probably working with Siraj in some kind of way. And because the Matra did clear him for amnesia. I suspected that he either actually forgot, or the Matra was working with Siraj. Though I ruled the latter out when I remembered that Alhaitham had written a letter to Cyno.

But, did any of that make me dislike Ilyas? Absolutely not. I can confidently say that Ilyas is one of my favorite characters in Genshin, even when considering playable characters. He's a really good character. He's I'm pretty sure, Hoyo's 5th attempt on a 'Teppei' character, following Dunyarzard and Jeht and her father.

He's also a very complex character. He was ostrasized and shunned because of something right, but instead of characters that would have just endured it for the 'greater good'. Ilyas took the easy way out, like any person would have in that situation. It's something we see in the Hive too. Every single person there actively chose to take the easy way out.

Also. When we entered Alhaitham's house. I spent a bit of a long while there. And I can confirm that there is only one bedroom. If the office Kaveh and Alhaitham doesn't have a bed we can see, considering the cutscene doesn't allow us to see it's interior.

I also know that there's only one bedroom, because, if you go to the other side of the house. There are two rooms. But the one on the right seems to have a lot of marble, and hydrophobic materials. That confirms it to be the bathroom. Since those types of matierls are used to make bathrooms in a Middle Eastern society. Belive me, I'm from a country heavily influenced by the Middle East so yeah.

Enjoy your crumbs, Kavetham shippers.
