## Holidays

Some of the holidays celibrated in Stormbound include

* Sproutbest (12th of Monary). Celibrated on the second Xylos day, it is a day of new life and celibration of the new years posibilities. For farmers and rural folk it is the start of planting season. It is typically noted with offerings to The Green Mother, tributes to the elmental of wood or earth, and giftgiving to children born the year prior.
* Wellwish Feast (39th of Duoary). A time of giftgiving to all, particualrly between firends. It is traditional in much of Stormbound to gather in tavourns, inns, keeps, and castles in order to mark the day. Many capital cities host a great tourney and communial banquate, while smaller towns may have feasts and local gatherings. In some older traditions, it is concidered propper to begin courting on Wellwish feast; a proper day to ask ones favoured to a first dance, and for those who have been courting, a propper day to propose. This leads to what are known as Wellwish wedidngs, all across the later half of Duary, a popular time besides thanks to the fine weather.
* All Saints Day (27th of Trember). All Saints Day follows the week fasting from 18th to the 26th of Trember within certian branches of The Divine Church. It is thought to be about the days that oneday will mark the return of the Prime Divininty, and for the churhc All Saints Day marks that the world will continue at least one year more as it is. For the common folk, it is a time of great celibration too. They mark the occation by filling churches, temples, halls, and buildings of all kinds, and no kind, of faith celibrating the changing of the seasons and the cooling of the days. This practice changes as one travels further north, where the cooling of the weather is seen as less of a blessing and more of a danager, and particuarly the dwarves are known to spend All Saints day in prayer and making great offerings to the Primordials.
* Unhallowed Night's Eve (64th of Trember). A time to remember the dead, honour the fallen, and think upon that which use to be. It is thought that this day the dead sometimes walk among the living. It is also, by design of the lich that first made them, the aniversary of the first legion of the undead in the Swarmlands. Undead on this day often retreate into their temples and quite places, some not to be seen for days at a time.
* Harvest Day (36th of Quartober). A traditional day of harvest; litteraly for farmers, and metaphorically for everyone else. Harvest day is tax day in many kingdoms, as well as the day that the divine church empties its coffers back to its flock. It is a good day to make offerings, particualrly to faireis and fey.
* PotsSpring (40th of Quartober). Also known as the great eating day, another feast. Traditinally a time to cook and eat any food from the harvest that cannot be stored, it is a resplandant day of feasting. Typcially the weather is cold enough in most of stormbound that the extra food is cooked in great springpots and boiled into soups to be shared among the people. In larger cities this is often replicated, with great and lavished soup drunk for breakfast lunch and dinner. It is also a day for hunters, and many a plucky young archer or spearer will take part in a traditional afternoon hunt. Superstition has it that what one can catch on a PotsSpring is a marker of the rest of the years prosperitiy, a tradition some parts of Stormbound takes more seriously than others.
* FogsHallows Day (16th of Pentober). A day to stave off the night, many will stay awake dancing all through the night of Fogshalloweve. It is a time for oricals and prophits, but also astormiy and stargazing. At Dawn of FogsHallow many peoples hold rituals with local animals, some invovle ritual sacrifice, others attempting to commune with the beasts. The goal is to learn from the animals the remainder of the cold weather, and when they can expect winter to end.
* Hearthfeast (29th of Pentober). Orriginally started by the dwarves, it has been popualrised with the spread of the divine church. On the coldest day of the winter, the great dwarven lords would open their halls to all, and everyone would partake in a great and joyious feast. Songs would be song, grudges aired and then forgiven, and alliances reforged. How litterally other kingdoms adapt Hearthfeast varies greatly, but it is generally a time of feasting, celibration, giftgiving and merrymaking.
* Yule (52nd to the 64th of Pentober) Yule is the time of endings and beginings. It is the end of the year, and the approaching of the next. It is celibrated almost all over the contenant of Stormbound, but in 40 differnt ways. Some feast, others fast. Some fight, others forgive. Some make offerings to gods, others gifts to family.
