Just Another Day

What holidays do the kurach celebrate?

We Sylvans celebrate the four seasonal changes. Spring is a big deal because it's also our new year, and autumn is a big deal because that's when the harvest comes in and when our game is nice and fat.

We mostly celebrate spring and autumn, since that's when we journey to and from the prairie. During the winter, we have a memorial on the shortest day of the year to honor those who've passed on.

On the longest day of the year we hold our fire festival where some of our best dancers put on fire demonstrations all night long.

The second month of summer we celebrate our victory over the giants and the resulting alliance. The third month of winter we honor the memories of those fallen to the claws of the sabrewing gryphons. Many years ago all the young cubs were taken by starving gryphons. We have an annual hunt to take one of their kind each year.

The day the sun rises and the day it sets are both very important. We spend a week welcoming it back to our world and a week bidding it safe journey.

I'm still working' on it. That's an awful lot of culture to do.
