Mystfall Timeline

This page features a timeline of events (roughly) in the Mystfall universe, as well as a calendar of known holidays for the cultures and religions of Mystfall. Please note that holidays are listed in months rather than days, to allow celebration at game that month no matter what day of the month we have booked.

Mystfall Calendar
The Imperial humans use the Imperial calendar (the months we are used to), but the Conthestani humans refer to each month by a feature. The Fey have picked up the Conthestani months rather than the Imperial ones, and refer to them as such.

January/Month of Ice
Fey

The Feast of All Faerie's takes place this month. This is a religious holiday celebrating Faerie, thanking her for her gifts, and returning the favour with offerings.

February/Month of Snow
Fey

The Giving of Shoes is a children's holiday where shoes are left out at night, and found filled with treats and presents the next morning.

March/Month of Rain
Fey

This month heralds the Dandelion Dance, usually once the snow has melted. It is the first dance of the year, a time of celebration, coming out of hibernation, seeing old friends again, and drunken revelry. Many find themselves drunk off dandelion wine, struggling the recall the previous night.

It is also the month of Whoopsical Day, an informal holiday of jokes and pranks.

The end of March signals the Decline of Sim. This festival is a time of new beginnings. In the week prior to the festival, homes and businesses are cleaned from top to bottom. This can even take on an air of ritualistic cleansing/purifying of the home. The day itself is a serious moment of inner reflection. Forgiveness is asked of others for wrongs against them. It is also a traditional day for the execution of criminals.

Followed by this is the Rise of Ney. This is a joyous day. It is the beginning of the Imperial New Year. The blessing of the fields in preparation for planting highlights the morning of the festival. The afternoon is marked by community celebrations such as plays and dances. Children perform ribbon dances for their parents. Coming-of-age parties are held in the evening for children who have reached the age of 13.

April/Month of Leaves
