OOC Info Endrykas Spring Calendar

[Fantasy]

The season of spring brings about hope of renewal after the harsh winter and loss of many Drykas mothers from the plague was keenly felt with many pregnant captives with no knowledge of child birth. The herd of deer spotted just before winter’s end is looked upon as a good sign of fortune, especially as the hunting party returns with much needed meat and pelts. With hope that spring will repair the harshness of winter, Endrykas begins its move across the Sea of Grass as soon as possible. The winter melt off brings green back to the land, and the herds of bison thrive under it’s appearance. Many of the female bison that withstood the winter gain much needed weight for their pregnancies. The human captives that are pregnant as well are closely watched as many begin to come close to labor. Riverfall becomes prominent for trade in an attempt to replace lost supplies, and many Drykas attend several festivals held within the city itself. One such festival is even formed between the Drykas and the Akalaks - a competition of the two cities over fitness and combat.
