Holidays of Warm Sun in Tridon

There is plenty of sun in Warm Sun, thus many places celebrate the Days of Sun with relish.  Crops are planted, wood is brought in, fish and fowl are smoked for the winter.  These are good days and people like to celebrate.

The Days of Sun are a celebration of Tymara, the Gods of the Sun and Elements.  Feasts are held and giant bon fires are lit in the middle of the night to represent the sun.  Races are held with who can carry a basket full of fire the farthest without it going out, the winner getting first pick of foods at the feast and bragging rights.  Originally, especially in the northern Houses, a runner would run from village to village bringing a torch which may or may not be magically lit, to see if they had made it through the winter snows and spring floods and to bring news from other villages.  The runner was always fed as he or she made their way across the landscape so eventually it simply became a holiday in the middle of summer for fun and feasting.
