Tuyi Festival
Describe a winter tradition which exists within one culture of your world. What is celebrated, and what's involved in the festivities?
History
Snow is a rare occurrence that only happens in Saldaria. Those of Mageside will want to honor The Creator in their harvest. The amount of snowfall will directly tie in how well their plants will grow. They believe that if they have truly pleased their god, throughout the year he would send snow to preserve their fish, fruits, and vegetables. This tradition has been around for a long time though the festival contents change.
Execution
All noble families dress in family robes. The common folk dress in party clothes and get together. Villages group in circles holding hands. If someone is betrothed and of age, they shall meet their future spouse. All age groups and clans engage in dance and feast. They are unified around the fire in the capital or Elder Residence at the last of sun.
Components and tools
Snowberry powder is a common mix as it is sprinkled on newborns, newlyweds, and new betrothed. Tree sap mixed with snow to make ritual markings on their face to signify how their year is going.
Participants
Elders are the ones who can perform ceremonies. It involves all the people and if they miss the festival they are most likely to be ridiculed and have a bad year in harvest.
Observance
After the first snow the festival will start with the sound of the flute from the wood of Ok trees. It usually takes place right after K'vadnir.
