Apologies for my disappearance, folks. Been EXTREMELY busy at Dwarf HQ here, especially with vast improvements at home and (above all else) the American Thanksgiving coming up. That led me to question: Are there any special feasts akin to Thanksgiving in Faerūn? If so, where and when is such celebrated? I was questioning if either Highharvestide or Feast of the Moon would count. If not, maybe set one during Marpenoth that would fit the bill?

Some sort of harvest festival would be closest, I should think.
I once had a coworker from Italy comment that she loved Thanksgiving, because she'd never celebrated it before coming to the US. Another guy (stupidly) asked her, "What, you don't have Thanksgiving in Italy?" She was much kinder than I would have been when she pointed out the lack of Pilgrims and natives helping them.
I share this tale because unless I'm mistaken, the Realms is also lacking such a thing. |

Thanksgiving-like feasts in the Realms?
