The Lesser known Holidays of Growfest

The 4th of Growfest is the beginning of Low Summer. A few holidays are celebrated during this time of Oerth's calendar... While excerpt's exist on the Feast of Edoira and believe it or not Raxivort's Orgy. The latter speaks enough for itself, yet someone thought an explanation was required. However, Saint Cuthbert's Day, and  the Desportium of Magic, receive no explanation as to what takes place for these holidays.  

One could assume that the Desportium of Magic is a time when the baklunish and suel  people pay homage to those lost during the Invoked Devastation and the Rain of Colorless Fire. It could also be a day the flan celebrate their liberation from the tyrant Vecna. Those loyal to Kas may also celebrate his victory over the despot. Saint Cuthbert's Day is probably a day to celebrate Saint Cuthbert's ascension or maybe a day when some of his faithful begin a pilgrimage to Verbobonc .

There are other holidays during the week of Growfest . Which one would you like to celebrate?

Happy Wenta Day!

Hail ole Alewife

While celebrating St. Patrick's Day. I think to myself what would the average mortal of Oerth be doing today... Than I am reminded of Wenta the Alewife. An Oeridian agricultural god that is a free spirit. While she does not capture the feel of ST. Patrick's Day herself. I am reminded of how much alcohol is consumed on this day. Brewfeast does not occur for a few months. Though I wonder if there is a day on Oerth when we celebrate something akin to St Patrick's Day. Erin Go Bragh! I can think of places like Bissel, Sterich, and Geoff which could appreciate some form of liberation. So what ideas do you have for the Oerth version of St. Patrick's Day?

What if? The Baklunish never summoned the Rain of Colorless Fire?

We all know the Ancient Suel Imperium conjured up the Invoked Devastation, which wrecked havoc on the Baklunish Empire... Then the Baklunish Empire along with the aid of a Baklunish Deity retaliated by summoning up the Rain of Colorless Fire upon the treacherous Suel Imperium. What if the Baklunish were never able to summon up the energies to bring-forth the Rain of Colorless Fire?

The Invoked Devastation only weakened the Baklunish Empire as their lands were retained. Though massive damage and fatalities were numerous. Would a certain area of the Baklunish lands become a demilitarized zone? Would the Oeridians and Baklunish have intermingled more influencing the makeup of the Baklunish Basin? Would the Great Kingdom ever come to fruition? If so how far west would the Suel Imperium have grown? Would the Suel have expanded their territory in the east?

All of this is merely food for thought. However, what do you think would have been the most likely outcome? If the Rain of Colorless Fire never occurred?
