The Feast of Fools -

On this feastday, celebrated in Tammaz (Arad Doman, Borderlands) or Saven (everywhere else), all oreder is deliberately turned upside down. The high-born and nobility must perform the tasks of the lower classes, while the common people hand out orders, doing no work at all. Many villages name a King/Queen of Fools, also known as the Lord/Lady of Unreason/Misrule/Chaos. Most do not seek this title out, but no matter how foolish every order or whim given by this person must be obeyed by all. It may also be noted that in southern Altara, Tear, and Illian, the time between The Feast of Abram and the Feast of Fools is considered to be most fortuitous for weddings.
