Changes

The most prominent portions of the Festhall (besides the sensoriums) are the three public theaters, each active year-round. The largest, Ren Hall, is located in the rear of the building; named for an ancient Prime hero important to the history of the Sensates, it holds performances twice a night, usually light pieces that require more elaborate features including associated music, magical aid, and sensory enhancers such as odor or taste. Elloweth Theater in the clockwise building, named for the faction's first factol, is a smaller affair, used for the subtler performances. Elloweth usually hosts four shows a week, two daytime and two night. In the daytime, its shows are most often poetry or essay readings or similar, its translucent capiz shell dome filtering more than enough light for such without the need for magic. At night, it offers dramatic performances, interpretative dance, and other quieter performances less appropriate (and admittedly, less popular) than the massive showy affairs in Ren. Finally, Northumber Amphitheater in the anticlockwise building is an open air playhouse holding the contests and outdoor musical performances hosted by the faction. It holds three shows a day most days, though occasionally (such as the rare magic duel or fireworks show) shows are held at night, when one can better make out the spectacle.
