Harvest Festival
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Celebrating the spring and autumn harvests is common throughout the Empire. A successful harvest brings abundance and prosperity, and it is customary to give thanks for it to Amarath.1
Customs
During these festivals the harvested goods are shared with the poor, travellers find plenty of hospitality, and neighbours exchange gifts.2
Those setting out on long journeys believe that leaving right after the festival brings good luck. It is also sensible, since it lets them set out before the freezing winter or the scorching summer sun.2
Lean years
The festival is celebrated even when the harvest is not bountiful, so long as there has been no disaster or drought. Prayers for a good harvest the following year are added to these quieter festivals.2
