Pyrhian Union

Holidays
In an effort to create aspects of life on which the people of the Pyrhian Union could relate and bond, several official Union-wide holidays were agreed upon. Some major holidays include:
 * Hallowant
 * During the Autumn equinox, the people of the Pyrhian Union celebrate a holiday for warding off evil spirits and welcoming friendly ones in an effort to help them pass on to the Ethereal plane. Some communities also perform rituals for banishing or exorcising spirits, whether these are founded in some reality or just for show is unclear.
 * Midwinter
 * The Winter solstice marks the new year and a "hump day" of sorts of making it through the winter.
 * Many towns also participate in week long festivities leading up to Midwinter, called the Midwinter Festival.
