This year's gathering is huge. Representatives from the monks of Ariella come to sign a treaty with the mages of Dragon's Fire to share knowledge for the betterment of all of Martapa. A wall has been built around the town of Gathering proper and a small keep is set in case there is any incursions from ogres in the years that the Great Gathering does not occur. Each of the major cities promises to staff the city with a score of men each and provide for their keep and pay so the city can remain safe since it has become so important to the entirety of Taina.

An ice storm passes between the Dwarven Islands and Taina mainland, causing the bay to freeze in spots enough for people to actually walk the miles between the Islands and mainland. There are impromptu celebrations and trading and though the dwarves like to be pretty isolationist, they enjoy the small trading and get togethers. Several trading pacts are made, but mostly it's just a social opportunity brought to them by the weather.

A man wanders the country side in western Taina saying that on the Fall Equinox that men and women should put out goodies for the dead so that they will not haunt the village, home, or city that the goodies are put out in. Some of the people he tells think it's silly, but do it anyway, then make a celebration of it, giving the dead food, but sharing the banquet with the whole village. In years to come it becomes a huge celebration and time to remember those who have passed, even if that wasn't why the man wanted them to honor the dead.
