Scenarios about 'carnival'
The carnival represents a festive period or traveling show characterized by public celebrations, parades, games, and performances dating back to medieval European traditions. These celebratory events often served as temporary inversions of social norms, allowing participants to engage in revelry and excess before periods of religious austerity such as Lent. In alternate history scenarios, carnivals provide windows into cultural practices, social hierarchies, and how societies managed tensions between order and chaos through ritualized entertainment.
