The Day of Wonders was a holiday celebrated in Waterdeep on Marpenoth 3. It featured a display and parade of inventions created by worshipers of Gond.
Description
The parade showcased the most recent inventions constructed by the Gondar, many of which were revealed during that day. The inventions ranged from the simplest small devices to enormous autonomous constructs. Most, of not all, of these inventions came from the House of Inspired Hands.
Due to the experimental nature of the inventions on display, it was very common for devices to fail and cause disruptions to the celebrations.
History
Sometime in the late 15th century DR, one particularly noteworthy device failure during a parade involved a flying chair. The chair could ascend indefinitely, but was incapable of descending. Although the inventor was eventually rescued by the Griffon Cavalry, the chair was never recovered.
In 1492, the festival also included multiple tournaments taking place in the Field of Triumph. The Trollskull Crushers took part in these festivities.
