I have a question pertaining to the holidays in the realms. Well at least just around one time in paticular.

I was wondering if there was a holiday to commemorate the beginning of the new year. All of my research did not come up with anything and I'm aware that Midwinter is about a month into the new year. But is there any sort of a New Years festival that perhaps I missed?

Thanks for the help

1st Hammer is celebrated by followers of Moander, though!
