Midsummer Holiday
Midsummer, called Midsummer Night or the Long Night, is
a time of feasting and music and love. In a ceremony performed
in some lands, unwed maidens are set free in the woods and
"hunted" by their would-be suitors through the
night. Betrothals are traditionally made upon this night.
It is very rare indeed for the weather to be bad during
this night - such is considered a very bad omen, usually
thought to foretell famine or plague.
-

morning and on the morning of the vernal and autumnal
equinoxes, Lathanderian clerics perform the Son of the
Dawn, a popular and complex musical ceremony that attracts
even nonworshipers to the Morninglord's cathedrals.
- Mielikki: Celebrations on Greengrass and
Midsummer night are similar to the Four Feasts, but they
also include planting rites and the Wild Ride, where herds
of unicorns gather and allow the faithful to ride them bareback
through the forest. On years when Shieldmeet follows Midsummer,
the Ride continues for that day and night if desired.
- Oghma: Clerics celebrate Midsummer and
Shieldmeet as holy days, since these occasions traditionally
mark new agreements or pacts, when many written contracts,
deeds, and bonds are drawn up.

frolicking and with night-long flirtatious chases through
forests and parks.

making and renewing of pacts, oaths, and agreements. It

Higharvestide Holiday
Higharvestide heralds the coming
of fall and the harvest. It is a feast that often continues
for the length of the harvest so that food is always on
hand for those coming in from the fields. There is much
traveling about on the heels of the feast, as merchants,
court emissaries, and pilgrims make speed before the worst
of the mud arrives and the rain freezes in the snow.

Malar: Two great rituals
are the Feast of the Stags and the High Hunt. In the former,
clerics and worshipers of Malar hunt plenty of game before

of the faith) to join them at a feast, where they pledge
to hunt in the coming winter to provide for the needy.
