Trickster's Feast

Date - Damarron 6th, annually

A day of feasting, drinking, joke-playing, and revelry. It's like Halloween, April Fools', and Mardi Gras all rolled into one raucous whole. Customs vary depending on the settlement, but it tends to be customary to wear masks (and often costumes) on this day. In some communities, especially those with temples to the Laughing Rogue, one person in each neighborhood takes on the role of the trickster god. (This may or may not be a cleric of Olidammara.) Masked, he travels from house to house, looking for a party to join. If this guest is invited in and treated well, he delivers a blessing and/or favors to the partygoers. (These favors are usually small gifts; gold, sweets, some good liquor, toys, a small gem or piece of jewelry, a song, a performance, a beneficial/entertaining spell... The possibilities are endless, and the type of gift given usually depends on just who was chosen to be Olidammarra that year. Some communities have a drop box available for the week before the Trickster's Feast for people to donate small gifts which the Trickster then delivers randomly. The gifts are traditionally delivered in small cloth bags or crackers (not the food, the kind you pull apart with prizes inside).) If the masked man is shunned, ignored, or rebuffed, however, a prank is played upon the person/people instead.
