Holidays
The Atreian Religion has major holidays on the solstice of each season.
The Summer holiday is the smallest one, actually, and it is the holiday associated with war and conflict. It is where people celebrate victories and martial prowess. It is when the Champions' Dance takes place, on the night of midsummer.
The Autumn holiday is one of prosperity and excess, where the people of the Empire use the last of their stocks before putting them away for the Winter. The Autumn holiday also includes the Heralding of Crows, in which the Winter Shrine is first lit (even though it is still Autumn).
The Winter holiday involves the Warding of Demons, in which people light Torches of the Night, and feast outdoors at midnight to taunt the Demons of the Night. Also, they parade a woman dressed as Atreia, who lights these torches and kills a statue of a Demon, symbolising Atreia's righteousness.
Finally, the Spring festival is the festival of joy, in which the Winter shrine is let to burn out of existence, and people stay up for nights, their fears of Demons allayed.
