First Tasting

Celebrated on the first friday of the tenth month, First Tasting was originally the chance for citizens of Thornwall to be the first to have a sip of Thornberry's new brew. With the desolation of the thornwall that provided said berries, however, the tasting has had to end. Instead, the festival is now a sobering day where people remember those who died.

Execution

The event starts in front of Thornberry, where mayor Buchanan Whitewall holds a speech and pours out a glass of Thornberry wine. After the speech, a procession walks through the city and to the harbor, where Barnacles' Rest hosts a dinner, with food and drink donated by the city's inhabitants. After the dinner, folks march to the graveyard to place a thorned stick on the grave of those who died.
