While I am not a Gaian myself, one of my favorite holidays is Springtide. Also called the Festival of Rebirth in Kormyre, it is one of the most anticipated Gaian holidays throughout various kingdoms and is usually celebrated during the first week of May, soon after the last crops are planted (which means, depending on the region, the time for the majority of the festivities may vary.)
Springtide is a time for celebrating the completion of these tasks, ushering in the season and Gaians often perform rites heralding in the new for the old. Many traditions accompany it, but one of my favorites is the giving. I often donate or gift the excess of things I may have that I no longer use. The concept behind this is 'what was old to one is now new to another.' Also, the color of flora that I try to adorn the place in is... a lot of fun.
The weather feels like it will be amicable during the entire week and I will be leaving items out behind Pendarvin that are meant to be taken if you like the look of them and feel . If the weather turns, I will be bringing them into either the small cottage by the statehouse or a tent pending whom is staying in the area where.
I offer anyone else who wishes to leave anything on this table to be taken to do so!
My only request is take one thing to start. Come Sunday, it's free game.
