The yearly Festival of the High Winds, a significant occasion in the culture of Sevari, occurred during the equinox towards the end of the season. Ceremonies were attended by figures such as clan leaders, clan lords, spice lords, and various other delegates from the clans. Frequently, individuals with stakes in the spice trade, such as spice dealers, crime lords, those involved in slavery, Imperials, and others, would take part in the proceedings.
The festival's highlight was the exhilarating wind races, where clans showcased their wind riders, navigating them at perilous speeds through adjacent canyons as an homage to their forebears. These races posed significant risks, and the competing teams would resort to any methods, even forceful ones, to hinder their rivals and secure victory.
