Day of Shameless Gluttony

The Day of Shameless Gluttony dates back to at least 950 G. E. It perhaps got its name from faeries poking fun at moralistic human missionaries, who condemned the feasts as gluttony and waste.

It has remained pretty much the same throughout the years, taking place primarily in rural areas such as the Nursery Rhyme District. It is a well-beloved and anticipated tradition that comes back year after year.

On the day of the Autumnal Equinox, a huge feast is prepared. Through a Stone Soup Ritual, the table, located outside underneath the fiery-leaved trees, is prepared. This feast includes many dishes associated with autumn, making good use of native fruits, grains, and wild game, amongst other things.

It is at the hour of sunset when the feasting begins. These affairs are not civilized; it is custom to eat until you physically cannot anymore, not bothering with decorum or even utensils. The residents of the Nursery Rhyme District act just as the animals they are, attacking their food. Amberjack Cider commonly makes an appearance to help with this.

The feast ends when everything is eaten, which is usually some hours into the night. Most will fall asleep at the table, overcome by a food coma and possibly drunkenness. There they will spend the night until morning, when they will assist with cleaning up. Many will not eat again for days after the event, their appetites satisfied for the time being.
