Hasta Rīz Wēp Fôlan
On the 11th day of Saiph, a feast held all over Esau by some followers of The Twin Moons, and by Mania of The Enduring Ones (in Extraneous. Hasta Rīz Wēp Fôlan is a small festival to mark the corruption of Moonweaver who became Hecate Darkmoon.
Some people travel all the way to One Tree Hill, located in the Pelago Islands. Which is where the battle and corruption of Moonweaver happened. Many retellings of the legend, recorded as Delight No More.
In Extraneous the sky turns stormy. It darkens as dark clouds move swiftly over head. Lightning sparks across the sky. Yet, it does not rain, nor does it feel cold.
THE TABLE
The table is set is a navy tablecloth with silver plates and cutlery. The two large red candles rest on round silver holders. The light flickers, as the only source of brightness. Smoke of cinnamon incense floats into the air.FOOD = uniced small cakes of vanilla, ginger and cinnamon.
DRINK = Lady Moon tea - a spicy cinnamon and black tea
Show spoiler
Perfect for short night endeavours: increases Darkvision up to 60ft for 10 minutes.
FLOWERS = white and vibriant blue Moonflowers.
These special plants only bloom at night, when the moon is out. During the day, moonflowers are no larger than an inch or two wide, however when the sun sets, they open up to an astounding six or seven inch long bloom. Because of their aloof bloom and sweet smell, moonflowers are considered extremely romantic.
The Twin Moon followers wear navy and white clothing with hair wrapped in dark coloured scarves.
Tears full of sorrow
For today and tomorrow
Fall for the loss we share
So hard it to bare
Rise today as the night does creep
For the fallen we weep
We shall hold this pain
Until we meet again
Holding the vista of view
No more so blue
Be it in this plane or another
Still we call you family, friend or lover
You are in our our hearts
Never truely are we apart
Hasta La Vista ( lit. 'until the view') is a farewell that can generally be understood as meaning "Until the (next) time we see each other" or "See you later" or "Goodbye".
Rīz = Rise
Wēp = weep
Fôlan = fallen
History
Delight No More tale
Hecate Darkmoon is the corrupt version of Moonweaver. Still parts of her remain inside iron cubes - it is believed some of her parts are still trapped, which is why Hecate does not remember herself as Moonweaver, and was able to be successfully corrupted.
The Corruption
What caused Solandra of The Enduring Ones to become Mania is entwined with the corruption of her lover Moonweaver to become Hecate Darkmoon .* Solandra saw what The Enchantress Ezmia and other Hags were planning - she tried to stop the corruption.
* Solandra was tortured to bring Moonweaver to the location in the Pelago Islands.
* Moonweaver was trapped and through casting of Eldritch magic by a large group of Hags - corupted to become Hecate Darkmoon.
* Solandra became Mania, with sorrow of loosing Moonweaver - and changed her plane to Extraneous.
* Troilus left his realm - deciding to destroy people's old-fashioned mind sets instead of fighting - changed art and tried to remove prejudices - he captured The Fates.
* Acosador stepped into the role of "Destruction" - however does on a smaller yet more harmful way.
* Perdita took to hiding within The Plane of Void, for a long period - and frequently returns there for 'peace'.
Observance
The followers of The Twin Moons on Esau, hold a feast each year in remembrance on the 11th day of Saiph - for Moonweaver and those who lost their lives in that battle. Mania dos so in her own house with Extraneous.
Some travel to One Tree Hill.
