Slaughter Festival
Major Festival
Also called the Brewer’s Festival, the Slaughter Festival focuses around meat and drink: the autumn butchering plus drinking the first ale of the season, overseen by the clergy of Ninkash. Animals are smoked or salted for the winter, and the best beer is chosen by the goddess (or her priests). Trombei holds the largest celebration of the Slaughter Festival. Priests of the Hunter celebrate as well, though generally only in the dark woods; stories claim their sacrifice is always a grown man or woman, hunted through the forests, their boiled bones left on the Hunter’s altar.
