'''Beltane''' ({{Wiki|Gaelic}}: ''Bealltain'') is a yearly [[Gaels|Gaelic]] {{Wiki|May Day}} festival that is traditionally held on 1 May and celebrates the end of spring.

==History==
In 1 May 1296, the festival of Bealltain commenced in the town of [[Dalkeith]] while [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[mercenary]] [[Sören]] and his group stayed there while hiding from the [[Lann Fala]]. There, they were tasked to accompany and protect a young man [[Fillan]], a [[Children of Fal|Child of Fal]], and met with [[Deorsa]], a member of the [[Scottish Brotherhood of Assassins]], who checked in on the mercenaries and Fillan. During the festivities, Fillan spent most of the night with [[Kyle Macdougall]], one of Sören's mercenaries and Fillan's combat instructor. Together, they concluded the night with Kyle bestowing a kiss on Fillan, who was later bound and abducted from her.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children]]'' — Chapter 15 – Bealltainn</ref>

While the citizens spent the night, Fillan was put into a dolmen and made to go through the Bealltain rite of passage, to which was a tradition that both the Scottish Brotherhood and Sören practiced. Fillan suffered bouts of panic while envisioning a younger version of his sister [[Ailéas]], whom he asked forgivesness. However, he was told to forgive himself before he ultimately found a way out.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children]]'' — Chapter 16 – Rite</ref> Sören had waited and then congratulated him, but Fillan left in anger while the town's festivities ended.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Highlands Children]]'' — Chapter 17 – Leith</ref>
