I had an idea for a holiday called the Night of Eyes.
It would be something similar to Halloween in America. Children dress up and make masks, trying to scare the adults of the city as they roam about their daily chores. When night falls the Moth Queen hosts a masquerade for the adults of society.
This holiday stems from when they were forced from Kalinad into the underground caverns that would become Kalinor. A very rigid temporary government was established, and taxes were gathered in great sums once a year. To avoid taxes, adults and children would hide and wear masks, harassing the tax collectors until they left their family alone. That night, after the tax collectors had given up, a great party would be held to celebrate, and gifts would be given to friends and family.
Since that time, the govornment has relaxed and the practice has become more of a holiday; a reason to celebrate and have a little fun in late Winter.
Thoughts?
