Today is the actual Memorial Day. So it got me to thinking of the various traditions and expectations one has for holidays and holiday celebrations...Which, naturally, led to thinking of Holidays in a fantasy world...I mean, we talk about the equinoxes and solstices all of the time (they're the pretty obvious ones), things like a king's birthday that would be made an official holiday for the land, remebrance of when the wizard of Id slew the dragon overlord, general "festivals" for this or that, etc... But a lot of times, it's kind of glossed over as something in the background.So I gotsta thinking about when holidays actually are? What they entail? What an actual "holiday celebration" would involve/look like.So, that's what the thread is for, this holiday weekend.What are your homebrew celebrations/festivals/holidays? What goes on there? What activities? What food? What traditions and how far reaching are they (just this village, the nation, the religion? the race?)?Tell me about holidays and festivals you'ved created adn/or used in your game world.</blockquote>
