Kisquay, The Lady of Trades
Divine Domains
Holidays
The Counting House recognizes several days as sacred to Kisquay. The first is Commitment Day. Since covenants and contracts are central to large-scale commerce, this day carries special significance to the Lady of Trades. The faithful gather at sunrise in the local temple, where they pay a tithe and speak their contracts and covenants to the Factor, who records them in the local temple's annals. This observance is called the Sanctification of Contracts. Only after this ritual is completed does the individual report to whatever other official entities (usually governmental) with whom they may need to record their commitments.
The other two holy days are identical to one another. They are called Firstmarket and Secondmarket, and they fall on the third day of Spring and Autumn, respectively. On these days, the faithful are expected to offer all their goods or services for sale, and to do so at the lowest prices or rates of the year.
