"Wishing most sincerely that you were here, this Harvest Season. And many bountiful returns, my friend." You can see the writing—elegant, heartfelt—on the back of this postcard, somehow intended to be delivered all the way to Earth (which explains the dates along the bottom), as well as a common Harvestide wassail:

~ Harvest Home ~

The weather's changing fast, my dear,
And soon it cold shall be,
So bring the harvest hurried home:
Hurry harvest home to me.

Our labors done, the fun's begun:
With pleasures be ye free,
So decorate both hearth and home,
And hurry harvest home to me

We celebrate the greatest soon—
Newness, Number, Notably—
So crown with herbs the triumphant,
Then hurry harvest home to me.

The hardest work and best results,
We celebrate with glee,
With basil's savor to exult,
So hurry harvest home to me.

Both inborn skill and practice long
Today shall crown'ed be:
Virtuosos mintly crowned,
To hurry harvest home to me.

The old ways have their value too,
For tried and true they be,
So celebrate traditions now:
Please hurry harvest home to me.

The sun and moon are in their dance,
And soon shall equal be,
So light the candles all, my dear,
And hurry harvest home to me.

With masques and flowers and ringing bells,
We join the grand parade,
To celebrate the best of us,
And the loving home we've made.

The address and signature are blurred, smudged by tears, perhaps, or by the interdimensional journey this little rectangle of card has taken; regardless, there is love here, and you suspect that it reached its destination successfully.

The artwork on the front of the card shows glimpses of the five days of the Talamhireen Harvest celebration:

The first day is a celebration of Labours, of productivity and results, with a state fair feel. Winners are crowned with a basil wreath.
The second day is the celebration of Talent, of virtuosity, with concerts and morys dancers. Winners are crowned with mint wreaths.
The third day is a celebration of Worth, of quality. Traditions, and reliable, simple-but-durable tools and practices are lauded, and lavender crowns honor workers who have long been successful in their jobs.
The forth day is for celebrating Concord and unity, it is also the Autumnal Equinox. Candle dances, wherein participants pass a flame from one to the other, symbolize the joining of the various city-states centuries ago into the single Talamhireen nation.
The fifth and final day is the celebration of Laurels. Awardees from the first three days' events are brought together, and those who demonstrate combinations of all three (productivity, virtuosity, and quality) are awarded special lauds, and crowned with a wreath of flowers.

These five days mark the end and the beginning of each Talamhireen year, with the rest of the days divided into twelve months of thirty days, with three decets (ten-day weeks) each. The harvest has been brought in, and winter has not yet closed its fist across the temperate lands of the continent. While work to do there may yet be, this holiday provides the people of this nation with a chance to come together and celebrate one another.
