Midsummer’s Eve
If there can be considered a lull in the summer’s work for Tarien's farmers, it is at this festival. By the Summer Solstice, all of the season’s planting is complete, and none of the crops require harvesting. This festival is far more subdued than Beltane, with its highlight being the group marriages of young couples. While all couples are not married on Midsummer’s Eve, a recent study by the University of Karradone discovered that over two-thirds of population was. Fresh greens and new potatoes, as well as young meats, such as lamb or suckling pig, center the tables of this festival. Given the religious significance of marriage, this festival often takes place at temples – especially those of Anderi, the Lord of Light.
