Mordreen

Dusk Octro 31st – Dusk Novro 3rd – Mordreen – Harvest’s End – As the leaves fall, and the harvest is reaped, it holds strong ties to the visualization of death. It is a festival in which people wear masks to hide from Kaldrath and Mooruuk, the gods of death. People also often spend time giving thanks to the spirits of their ancestors. In the east, there is the running of the light, where people run through the town late at night to scare away any evil spirits and hold the servants of Kaldrath at bay.

 

It is a three day festival, which actually starts the night before with Mooruk’s Night, a night in which people believe the veils between worlds are thinnest. At dusk on the third day, people celebrate with the Feast of Mordreen, a time for family and friends to gather, drink, and remember.
