River's Gift Festival

This is a traditional folk holiday marking the completion of the year’s timber-floating season. It is traditionally presided over by the Braelin River Warden.

  • Floating lanterns are released into the Timbrel River as an offering of thanks to open the festival before first light on the first day. A similar ritual takes place late in the evening to close the festival on the last day to commemorate those lost on the river during previous seasons.
  • River-folk hold friendly competitions (tightrope-walking between log rafts, knot races, swimming races).
  • The Council of Braelin issues commendations for bravery or rescue work on the river.

Observance

The River's Gift Festival is held for two days at the beginning of autumn on the new moon of Taramion.
