Melomyr peculiarities

Because the roofed community hall, was not completed the first year, many people spent up to the celbration day, trying to get it ready, to no avail. This peculiarity added a few quirks to the ritual, that are only celebrated in Melomyr:

• During the day, the community will come together to examine the Melomyr town commons for damage, any damage will be repaired and normally a small expansion will be added.
• After dark, people will bring at least one of their new lanterns, towards the Melomyr town commons, normally in an informal procession of light.
• If it's not raining or snowing, the tales are told outside, normally around the The Trilling shard

The numenera tales are also changing. More tales about the wonders, those who have explored the ruins have experienced. The delights, the numenera they have brought with them, have accomplished are being told. The cautionary tales, regarding the dangers are taking a secondary role.
