Holidays in the Green Ember
The concept of holidays in the Green Ember world is actually rather fascinating. So far as I can recall, the closest we’ve come so far were “Victory” Day and the Feast of the Mending, which turned into an annual event. Oh, and the Terralains and Drekkers apparently had recurring festivals that they did. One would have to imagine, assuming rabbit culture is as close to human as our differences can accommodate, that they had other holidays. Of course, celebrating these may not have been practical or even possible for rabbits during the years of Morbin’s reign over most of Natalia.
Some events I could see being commemorated by rabbitkind:
*The Leaping (whether on the actual anniversary, if that was still remembered, or with some observance on a date chosen later)
*The defeat of Firstfoe (again, assuming rabbits remembered when this occurred)
*Rabbitkind’s arrival on Golden Coast
*The arrival of the Trekkers in Natalia
*The anniversary of the Battle of Ayman Lake (probably an equivalent of Pearl Harbor Day or 9/11 in the United States)
I don’t really see any holidays derived from the Dragon War making it into the general calendar. After all, Lander seems to have decided that it was best to try and erase any trace of the dragons’ existence as much as possible. Maybe the Terralains have something, since they were separated from the rest of rabbitkind and may not have necessarily submitted to any of Lander’s edicts. Boy, imagine if their festival was in commemoration of that? Then Tunk and Dooker would have been anticipating crushing First Warren so they could get home and celebrate when their ancestors fought alongside those of the rabbits they intended to defeat. I’m not sure if the timing works, but the concept intrigues me now.
Anything later in the timeline is harder to guess.
