1000 years ago a twin shooting star was witnessed over the lands, which led to an upswing in good fortune – crops produced particularly well, the animals were plentiful, and those with poor health were cured.
While Dragonborn are not particularly superstitious, this event stuck in the communal memory. Since then, Dragonborn put two lighted candles and a small food offering on their windowsill or by their campfire at dusk, in the hopes that they will have good luck and good fortune for the upcoming year.
