Day of the Pillars

The Day of the Pillars of the Constitution is one of the three national days of Achysia. It commemorates the meeting of the Constitutional Courts, when the Constitutionalists of the Imperial Courts met in front of the burned remains of the old Palace of the Courts to reaffirm their commitment for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in Achysia. Their meeting, which came only a day after the Sack of the Courts by the absolutist units of the Imperial Schools, marked the official beginning of the Struggle for the Constitution, a civil war that lasted for two months. To the present, this day is remembered as the beginning of constitutional rule and democracy in Achysia, and it has been one of the national days of the realm from 1445 to 1512, and from 1535 to the present.
