Harvest Dances
Major Festival
In the bright harvest moonlight, after the sheaves are gathered and the threshed grain is stored in the granaries, farmers celebrate with dances late at night. Dancing, gambling, and merriment prevails, and music, foot races, and even magical fireworks are sometimes part of the celebrations. The festival takes different forms in every nation, but all peasants and nobles count their blessings at the end of the growing season and give thanks to Ceres or Ninkash or Baccho. Shops, workshops, guildhalls, and smithies all close during the harvest dances, and only taverns, inns, and shrines are open.
