Holiday Traditions

On the last day of each season, most settlements spend a day to celebrate a holiday tradition. Depending on their location and culture, these celebrations typically focus on themes such as life, fertility, harvest, or survival. If a creature engages in at least 1 hour of celebration on these days then they gain inspiration.

History

Every 30th day since the beginning of the Age of Humanoids.
