Morsday Ouvierer

During the spring, upon the second Morsday of Quir, the inhabitants of Aelaes hold a special holiday fixated around the belated and frantic cleaning that had been previously missed.

History

Beginning in 66 CE, Morsday Ouvierer began when a particularly lazy yet crafty servant of the King of Gliomerea claimed that a shrouded figure named Mors had appeared before him in the cleaning cupboard, and prohibited him from using the supplies until he had located that which he was seeking. When the servant confronted this Mors, he was bound to the floor with vines and chastised for daring to defy the great god Mors Lignea. When he was at last freed, Mors demanded that he not to enter the cupboard again until the next day they had named for him, to which the servant replied there were nobles to arrive that day. "Then you better be hasty, mortal." Was all he was told in reply.

The king of course didn't believe the servant, and promptly demanded him to be swift with the cleaning, but when a guard opened the cupboard, he fell to the floor, dead. Taking this as a divine omen, the king forbade any cleaning to be done until the second Morsday of the month, which was Quir, upon which the servants of the castle were all put to task frantically cleaning the entire castle.

The word of this event spread, and it became common practice that there was no cleaning to be done in the month of Quir until the second Morsday, and this festival was named after the servant who had had this supposed exchange with a deity.
