Dárdüni Divinations (19 Dec 2011) - Happy Holidays + Lore
14 years ago
Welcome to the Dárdüni Divinations,
the Shard RPG Group Journal!
The passing of this year draws closer, and so does, for some of us, christmas!
For our little present to you and your players, we want to share lore about a special little festival celebrated on Dárdünah... not quite unlike those holidays before us, this celebration could be a nice addition to your session, right in time to get everyone into the festive spirit!
New Year’s Festival of Muhjíbh
This festival begins the last night of the year and continues through the rising of the small blue sun Edü on the first morning of first day of Sahásya. It celebrates Mujíbh, the messenger of the Devah, who brings the glad tidings that the season of death is over, and spring has begun. Tiny blue candles are lit and placed in little boats or on leaves and floated on the water to call to Edü, and feasting lasts throughout the night until first prayers.
After both suns rise, lovers and lovers-to-be exchange passionate notes proclaiming their desire for one another, while families and friends exchange more sedate gifts. Children usually receive toys, and adults receive gifts that are appropriate for their social or caste status (tools, weapons, jewelry, etc.). This is to commemorate Mujíbh’s ascension to the Heavens on this day to announce the creation of the caste system to the Great Father and Mother.
We hope everyone will be having an enjoyable time with their friends and families, and look towards the upcoming year with hope and joy in their hearts!
Farewell, and may your crystal never shatter!

Dominus tecum
You can find lots of little treasures like this hidden inside the glossary of your Basic Compendium!
For instance I really love the "Crystal Storms", which are winds that pick up crystal dust & debris and violently fling them around, sometimes even embedding the sharper crystal pieces in walls, skyships and some unfortunate janah!
I hope you had a great time during the holidays!
May your crystal never shatter, MatthiasRat!
