GENTHEST CELEBRATION

Annual Genthest Celebration
Hosted by Sithire Marcion Aldenbar & the City Council of Drache

1.IX.483, at the Fourth Descending Bell
(Sept 1st, 6pm EDT)

The gracious Sithire and City Council are opening up their stocks and stores to provide for the annual celebration of Genthest this year. Come to enjoy good music, food and drink outside the city walls in the forecourt of Castle Black. The bonfire will be lit at dusk and will burn until the last reveler leaves in the wee hours of the night.

Genthest marks the first of Sarmatgentat, or the month of Hearth Fire in the Common tongue. Also known as 'Bonfire Day', Genthest is a celebration in which friends and family gather around large bonfires at dusk to burn effigies made of sticks or sacks. This is said to encourage the spirits to accept the death of the dummies instead of the actual person in the coming season.

Bring your own effigies, purchase them, or follow along as instructors show how to make even the most basic dummy in which to celebrate Genthest with.

All are welcomed!

Due to the summer drought, revelers will be given a limited number of chits which they can turn in for food or drink.
