Festivius is the god of Festivities and Celebrations. It is said that Festivius got bored of throwing festivals and parties among gods, as there are only so many gods and decided he wanted to throw festivals and parties for mortals living among Rathnir. In order to accomplish this, Festivius came onto Rathnir and lived among the mortals for 7 days. In the 7 days Festivius was on Rathnir he journeyed far and wide and eventually found himself in the holy land that he named Festivia, which he deemed the holy land.

### Brewcus

Brewcus is the son of Festivus and is the god of Breweries and Drinking. On the Festivius’s second day on Rathnir, he took a piece of his liver and it grew into Brewcus. Festivius tasked Brewcus to journey the world and Brewcus soon discovered taverns and fell in love with them.
