A Time of Light
In the
Evertwilight there is a time that is celebrated each year. For a month they trade stories, new tools, experiences and interesting items with each other during this time for celebration. This is the most important holiday to the
Duskmen and is celebrated for it being the time of the year that Fener is brightest and lights Lysenth, the larger two of the moons, are full for an entire month. Tribes will travel from all across the
Ice Shelf and return to
Kassimavik to be with friends and family.
Origin
It is said that the first Duskmen had traveled to the tundra to escape the ravages of war. Unaccustomed to the perpetual night that blanketed the region, they prayed to the gods for guidance as they were unable to find food, shelter or watch for the danger around them.
Selûne, made both moons of Malgrave, Fener and Lysenth, glow bright to show them the way. During this time, the goddess would share her knowledge, teaching the Duskmen how to navigate by the stars, where to find food and what kind of tools would help them survive. So moved by their appreciation for her assistance, she granted their swiftest, their fastest, their wisest, their strongest, their most courageous and most tenacious into lycanthropes. These six men and women would serve as invulnerable protectors of their people and would be called the
Twilight Guardians.
Tradition
The one permanent settlement of the Duskmen,
Kassimavik, is where the supposed event happened and so as the tribe grew, they broken off into smaller groups to wander. However, every year they all return to celebrate their home and their faith by sharing new discoveries and works. New tools and materials, works of great craftsmanship and new areas discovered are all traded between each other freely to further make the Evertwilight more comfortable and safe for their kin. They celebrate as the light brings them together and also thank they Twilight Guardians for their service, showing full appreciation to what the goddess provided to them in what most would consider an inhospitable land.
