Seasons And Celebrations

Leap is the start of the year and the start of the growing season with Tillsoil (when the ground is first warm enough for planting) and Monsoon (when constant showers bring future flowers). It ends with a boisterous Sun Parade, though some settlements might choose the self-care celebration of Restlie or the festival of cleansing and new beginnings called Ablution instead.

Bright is the sunny, verdant part of the year and features Bloommeadow (when flowers burst out everywhere) and Devildays (the hottest part of the year). It ends with an easy-going Day of Song, though some families might choose the summer carnival of Callaleah or the the bumblebee festival of Old Api’s Fair instead.

Breathe is when nature is grown and at its height with Swarming (the most active time for bugs) and Gateling (the shortest month when hot weather starts to shift to cool weather). It ends with an evening Moon Dance.

Silt is when vegetation gives way to bare earth again and features Firetop (when the leaves change to brilliant colors) and Grasping (when the branches are bare but the snows haven’t come). It ends with the communal meal of Candlefeast, or the foreboding and haunted Nameless Day depending on the waxing and wanning of the moon that year.

Chill is the time of snows and inside coziness with Snowblanket (the fluffy first snowfalls) and Frostbite (the deep chill and still nights). It ends with the week-long New Years celebration, though it used to (and may still be) celebrated with the mourning Bloody Night tradition.
