Lore of the Lost 5: Candlenights Week
Candlenights Week is an event usually held from the 25th-31st of Docermaast. It's based on the legend of a small town that banded together during one especially harsh winter to stand up against Krumpett and his band of evil-does. The legend says that eventually they did win, but not before being saved by a great warrior named Saata Claws, and his group of helpers. The traditions of Candlenights usually feature the exchanging of gifts, giving thanks to another year survived, ceremonial use of candles throughout, and an overall feeling of unity and shared joy that loved ones have survived alongside us.
History
The exact history of Candlenights is unknown, but legend tells of a great fight to save the town of Christmas, one side consisting of the townsfolk and their hero Saata, and the other side comprising of terrible beasts lead by the evil Krumpett.
You know Dasken and Daekom
And Pralvek and Vilten,
Colrek and Cuvolt
And Donsten and Blaigen.
But do you recall
The apex that killed them all?
Rodult the red-nosed apex
Had a very small physique
And if you ever saw it
You would even say he's weak
All of the other apex
Used that laugh and cause him pain
They never thought poor Rodult
Would amount to anything!
Then one foggy Candelnights Eve
Rodult said enough
He made this one a bloody night
He finally put up a fight
With cunning that none had expected
And a surprising taste for anguished screams
Rodult the red-nosed apex
Slaughtered his whole family!
