The torchbearer running across the feast tableSo firstly, the ceremony made history by being the first one to ever hold a torch relay, yes you heard that correctly, prior to the formation of the Ramsāhreza Olympic Organization Committee no torch relay was ever held due to it not having any starting point but that changed right after the formation of the ROOC. Indeed, the organizers immediately proposed the city of Mahtābi, historical city of the Shahnazid Empire known for its great focus on arts, sportsmanship, and competitiveness, as the starting point of the torch relay that go across the northern hemisphere of the globe passing through major historical sites, the flame shinning the way forward symbolizing the start of a new era in the history of Terra. But when the flame finally re-entered Aldegar, all hell broke loose with drones, Gaia powered lights, fireworks, and acrobats accompanied the flame to the limits of the Ramsāhreza, and when it entered the city that's was the official start of the ceremony.

Roya then performed a music piece known as "Odes to Utopia" singing about human perseverance in the face of hardship and how one day we will achieve our perfect utopia where everyone is equal, happy, and fulfilled in life.

On the other hand, Aldegar assigned itself the Spire, a 800 m long skyscraper/casino/housing complex and the biggest tower in all of the Champagne District because it is the host country but also a testament to how far they managed to come from a poor underdeveloped irrelevant nation to the beating heart of trade in Terra and the third best country to live in right behind Lourenne
Canrille concon dancers during the performance in front of the Trident While the dancers from across Terra were performing their lives out to the public, the boats carrying the athletes started coming down from the Mehad mountain down the Anahita river as the athletes waved proudly their flags and cheered on with mechanical dolphins guiding the way forward, fireworks being fired, and drones performing art pieces on the blank canvas that is the night sky, not only that but Gaia was also present at the event where she swiftly managed the drones making mesmerizing art pieces while the Daughters of Rhea corp from the Aldegarian Federal Navy performed Don't Advance, Nights of Ramsāhreza, a piece dedicated to the city of Ramsāhreza that talks about how a young rural girl that lived in the mountains moved to the city to continue to study but found herslef falling in love with Ramsāhreza talking about its nightlife, the beautiful Anahita river, the enchanting sky scrappers illuminating the dark sky with their lights and the warm feeling of security and love in the city that never once closed its eyes and keeps on moving forward determined to be a place for everyone to enjoy being themselves no matter their background, the tune of the song was soft and calming like a mother putting to sleep her child by singing them a nursery while looking out the window to see the millions of people just like her helping to make Ramsāhreza a city of wonders and motherly warmth

Finally, the torchbearer reached the entry of Congress as they then slowly walked down the Avenue toward the Palace of Anahita while riding a lion, they passes through hundreds of statues representing old gods from the different pantheons across Terra but also famous Aldegarian figures and even members of the Masked Fools show masters that participated in the Water Lilly Revolution. The flame was then handed to President Siavash as he then lit up the Olympic flame in a flower shaped recipient designed to never die for the entire duration of the games. The president of the TOA then held a speech describing the ceremony as historic that set the bar very high for all upcoming games alongside showing the potential that Aldegar represents to Terra by making the best opening ceremony free of charge and on an open field unlike previous ones that were held in confined stadiums without a torch relay.
