We ask all island citizens to come together to celebrate the life of Imoto Tamasakage.

The funeral will take place at the Chapel of Bl. Prince Arthur, located at the top of the hill in Marenna.

We ask you to wear white to pay respect to Imoto and his culture. There will be a cremation ceremony outside the church, and we ask you to bring a candle as well.

There will be a buffet at the tavern afterwards, while we reminisce about our time with Imoto.

((The funeral will take place on 10th October 9pm GMT / 5pm EST))

After months of construction, The Voyager’s Landing is now open for business! The bar is stocked with snacks and drinks!

Aurora 28th, Aura 1st , Happy new years, celebrated differently in each culture. The changing of the years calendar is found mentioned in many history books as a fresh start and a way to refresh the soul.

Mothers Day, Bloom 7th, celebrating The mother, and mothers, early festival often using flowers, lots of prayers, lots of honor and reverence for mothers, some cultures ceremonially parade their women around to receive gifts from every child in the town, immense respect.

Fathers day, Scorch 13th, celebrating The father, and fathers, summer festival often decorated with fire and water features, lots of dancing and adoration and exalting of the male figure, some cultures have their men take their children with them outside their towns and make play of the day, a sort of intimate bonding time is reserved when so often its denied by life and work.

Harvest, Gloom 1st, this festival is practical as well as celebratory, during the day it is spent as a community preserving food for the winter, surrounded by decorations made by children such as multicolored leaves, acorns, and jewel corn bouquets. Late in the evening, after the streettorches are lit there is a large feast in a central location, usually with bonfires and drinking. No one works Gloom 2nd in most cultures as it's considered a large day of rest before the crops start their required winterization and maintenances.

Gloom 30th, The Day of Whispers, this holiday is a contradiction of mood. During the daytime it is a day of mourning, a yearly remembrance of those who have passed. The temples fill with people offering prayers to the Black Bird asking for gentle swift travels and care for the souls he is going to take the coming cycle. At nighttime it becomes a festival for children. An offset of the somber setting. Naturally, since the day is about the dead it stands to reason that they are nearer to us on this day. Over time it developed into a way to let children have a safe way to explore spooky things and their relationship with death in a way their growing minds understood. The evening is filled with masked children running door to door with a short ‘ghost story’ on their lips, ready to recite in exchange for treats.

The Great Flip, Hearth 15th, when the days start to be longer than the night again. While this days celebrations vary culture to culture, many of them have events this day surrounding light in general, such as a ‘drown the dark’ party in some cities, where everyone lights extra torches, and they style themselves as the sun in bright colors. There is mingling and socializing for a small time in the middle of the night as they celebrate the light via coming back to the world with an exchanging of gifts amongst friends and family. Most don’t retire to bed until nearly sunrise.

Racial Holidays

Turuk, Blood day, Apex 1st, children coming of age who have been through their trainings and are now considered adults have a battle royal to first blood with their community watching. The victor is lauded and fed rare meats and is the representative of the next years children who will compete on blood day for their entry into adulthood.

Humans, Dewfall 14th, Lovers Day, never is there another day of the year when so many young people decide to get married. Humans have chosen to make an entire holiday around one of the most paramount emotions. The day commonly has multiple weddings, engagements, and young lovers around their towns with most businesses having sales and special events.

Elfin, Summertide, Apex 1st, This party is more outlandish than anyone would ever expect to see any other time from the Eflin. This summer festival is largely a fertility festival, with celebration centered on the wild growth of Mother Tree. There is wine, elaborate animal costumes and full body paint, music, dance competitions and well paid babysitters as the Elfin do not let their young attend this festival for its unusual displays of fertility embellishments and ornamentations.

Grokon, Squall 25th, Wildbrew, alcoholic drinking festival where the years ales and malty lagers that have been aged are rotated out for sale. A festival with lots of free samples, classes on home micro brewing, drunken games, charity auctions, and live music. This is considered one of the most important holidays to the Grokon. Even some vendors of other races come to peddle their wares in Grokon cities. Not so often the Elfin though as wines are not to Grokon taste buds, and Grokon brews are a bit too much for Elfin staminas.

Deity Specific Holidays (outside the big 3 that most folks worship)
.
Water day, ocean communities, even towns by large rivers because all water flows back to the source, celebrated by swimming and handmade offerings of crafts made by using water based things like driftwood, shells, and fishscales. They thank Singsetr for clean water, and for the salt from the ocean our bodies also need. Bloom 29th.
.
Fire day, is for celebrating Kimini and Hodoko. Many customs are celebrated in tandem with couples, of prayer, offerings, and celebrations as their way of honoring the pair. As these deities are seen as more domestic, their days are often done as such; offerings burned in a fire, the smoke spread about the house with accompanying hymns as a way of purification of the space, and blessings for those who dwell in them, a wreath made of the last years worth of collected horseshoes, ornate and hung on the stable door as thanks for continued support of the fire, and other customs strongly tied to the home. Cinder 19th.
.
The Caretaker is often celebrated with a seafood feast as a nod to the feline nature Koci presents himself as. People feed stray cats on Cats Day more than usual because you never know if one of them is Koci come to watch the people. Worship is often done as deeds in lieu of offerings, people helping one another however they can as praise via emulation. Gale 4th.
.
Those involved in service with their militaries and guardsmen as well often celebrate War Day. Ondolf is praised and his shrines become covered in small gifts, often arrows, sometimes swords, daggers, and other instruments of war. His followers often celebrate with dueling or boxing, and any blood shed is used as war makeup for the day, to look more ferocious. Though uncommon, some women also celebrate War Day if they happen to be with child during its occurrence, as their battles on the birthing bed are just as valid as those wars men wage When women are invited into men's circles for War Day there is often ritual shouting amongst them, screams to mimic her screams that will come as a form of respect for the women's fight. The father of the baby uses his blood for her warpaint, on both her face and exposed belly. Rime 10th.
