Holidays of Green Planting in Tridon

There is, of course, Summer's Birth (detailed earlier) but there also is a few other, smaller holidays this month.

One is the Blessing of the Druids.  Many of the rural farmers and villages have druids bless their livestock as well as their crops in the hopes of having a fruitful year.  Many times meals are prepared for the druids who attend to the village and promises to live with nature are given.  Such promises include not clearing any more nearby forest land, maybe not over hunting or perhaps leaving a certain animal alone in a certain area.

The second is Targon's Delight.  Originally this was a joke put forth by the Temple of Targon in Stormvale as they wanted to make the Temple of Catiana look hide bound, but it now has grown into a festival looked forward to many.  Priest and mages of Targon will go about towns or villages performing little, flashy magics (or even fixing magics) for free.  Food is served by the temples and at the end of the day the priests perform firework like magics in the sky.  Temple donations soar during this time of year.
