Day of the Thousand Fangs
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
The Day of the Thousand Fangs began as a tradition of the Frans. It has since spread to the northern provinces of the Empire that border the lands of Fraza.1
The prophecy
According to Fran belief, a skilled seer once foretold that one day a thousand-fanged serpent and its offspring would attack the world, to avenge every creature that had ever been vanquished or tamed.1
Observance
On the Day of the Thousand Fangs people eat game meat, lock their doors and spend the day with their families, while hunters patrol the streets.1
The day carries the essence of the horrifying realities of the north, yet in most places it poses no real danger. In the Empire it may take on a festive, holiday air. In Fraza it is still taken seriously, and the monster hunters of the north stand genuinely ready to protect their homes.1
