07-28-03, 03:24 PM I'm looking to gather a list of holy days, yearly celebrations, kingdom festivals, annual noble gatherings and the like. any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking for specifics, if available, concerning the where and the who of the celebration. As well as any history concerning the day or event.

I know F&P offered a lot on Religious days, as have other products. Please share all you know from novels to printed adventures. The more days the better.

Thanks.

07-28-03, 08:50 PM If you can get your hands on it, get the "Faith and Pantheons" book that was made by TSR.

It has all the holy days for all the human gods that are greater than demigod status as of 1367, I think.

Peace

07-29-03, 09:18 PM From the Vilhon Reach:

The Feast of the Moon (Turmish and Sespech), held one night after midsummer
The Reign of Misrule (Turmish and Chondath), ten days after Highharvesttide
The Festival of the Hunt (the Shining Plains), summer, just before start of hunting season
The Sun Festival (the Shining Plains), last day of Eleasias
The Rotting Dance (free cities of the Vilhon Reach), Highharvesttide
The Feast of Purple Mastery (Sespech), late Alturiak

Chasing the King (mentioned by the worthy Faraer) might be the coolest festival of them all.
