Feast of Embers

The Feast of Embers is celebrated with much joy and wonder. It's a holiday with mythical roots, but today it is mostly associated with games of chance, traditional plays, spirituality, and scavenger hunts.

It is officially celebrated for five days, but the final hours are by far the most intense and the most beloved hours.


 * 'Mythical roots': Many centuries ago, a magical rift between dimensions threatened all life. Most notably, a terrible freeze spread and spread. The city became one of the few bastions, protected by magical flames built on the outskirts of the city. Though they faded as the days past, the last flame held on just long enough for the rift to be sealed.
 * 'Games of chance': For entertainment or money, all public gathering places have their own favored games.
 * 'Traditional plays': Historical and farcical plays are popular ways to spend the time.
 * 'Spirituality': People take this time to reconnect with their history, beliefs, or more organized religion.
 * 'Scavenger hunts': Friends and family challenge each other with these riddles and clues, leading them to small gifts or special places. It's also not uncommon to find more public challenges. These tend to either be elaborate pranks or well-rewarded tasks given by local groups.
