Holidays:
Mabriam's Day: Eighteenth day of Tammaz. All work is avoided (e.g. food cooked night before). Tricks played on men by women, in order to show favour, but done in groups to hide it. If the target man finds out who it is, various forfeits are traditional - ranging from a kiss by the woman responsible to a kiss from the whole group.
Tandar: Ninth day of Maighdal. No one is supposed to let this day end still holding a grudge or having a disagreement with anyone. Though the intent is for reconciliation, the festivities are known on occasion to be marred by attempts to meet this another way...
Low Chasaline: Eighteenth day of Maighdal. In most places a day of fasting.
The Festival of Lanterns: The first day of Choren. Brightly coloured paper lanterns hung everywhere - windows, trees etc. (Arad Doman; Tarabon; Amadicia; Ghealdan; Altara; Murandy; Illian)
Bel Arvina: First day of autumn. Date determined locally.
Amaetheon: Sixth day of Shaldine. Everywhere except the Borderlands this is a feast to remember the dead joyously.
Shaoman: Twelfth day of Shaldine. Orientated towards children, who are praised and given gifts. Often children go from house to house singing and are rewarded with small gifts.
Danshu: Last day of Nesan.
Sunday: A feastday and festival at midsummer, celebrated in many parts of the world.
