During Highsummer, one night after Midsummer, the men and women of Turmish gather for a night of drinking, dancing, and debauched revelry. This is the Feast of the Moon, also known as the "Festival of Lovers." While many who participate in the feast are married, this is the time of year that many choose to consummate new marriages. Needless to say, the week leading up to the Feast of the Moon is rife with marriages. Some even choose to marry on this night. Lovers are required to seek each other out in places that are strange to them. Agreeing on a specific meeting place, lovers take different routes to their rendezvous. Some of the more popular rendezvous spots are the Lake of Drifting Stars, Evenstar Vale, Starfall Stream Pool, and Bare Bones Hill.
In the years since the Time of Troubles, militia patrols have had to be increased due to the prevalence of the cult of Malar, who hunts down lovers as the opportunities present themselves. Indeed, it is not uncommon for lovers to be carrying weapons for their own protection.
Reign of Misrule
Ten days after Higharvestide, the Reign of Misrule begins. This festival allows Turmish natives to break the oaths of their guild or faith so long as they don't cause death or destruction. Non-natives of the Reach are never excused for their actions during the Reign. During the Reign of Misrule, it is not uncommon to see rude paladins involved in knock-down, drag-out barroom brawls, monks of various faiths talking and laughing freely with others (breaking their vow of silence), and other shocking sights.
The Reign of Misrule normally lasts only a day, but the memories it provides are everlasting. It is a crime in Turmish to discuss anyone's actions during the Reign, and the custom is so ingrown in the culture that even children understand the rules of the Reign of Misrule.
I wonder what are criteria for winning since everyone from post #1 commented the same... I would suggest random roll 1dx where x is number of comments (for the purposes of the contest we can pretend all answers are correct, if not just simply reroll) if you can filter it so all users would be allowed only to one comment it would be even more fair ;]
there are no user pictures so you can't just award the hottest chick available (like in all other contests) so have fun selecting a winner (my favorite is dart throwing on the target with glued pieces of paper on it (write there numbers and there goes your random )
The two major Turmish festivals are: the Feast of the Moon and the Reign of Misrule. During these times, businesses and most government offices close. All of Turmish celebrates.
