Macabre, Dance of the Fey
Is a holiday held in throughout Alyndrica, both in rural areas and the big cities during the spring equinox on the 7th of Maeve. It celebrated the weakening of the barriers between the world and the faerie realms of the Feywild.
Due to the increased proximity between the Feywild and the Material Plane, the influence each realm had over the other was considered to be at its height. While rural areas regarded the date with trepidation and practiced many superstitions (avoiding the forests, leaving confectionery treats on their porches, and the like), in big cities it was a day of celebration.
The nobles hosted lavish masquerades, while the lower classes attired themselves in homemade disguises and went around soliciting temporary access into the celebrations in exchange for entertaining the crowds. Costumes included those of fey beings and Feywild rulers, such as Sune, Oberon, and Rhiannon. The joyous festival tended to be seen with scorn by some inhabitants who considered the practice foolish and preferred to stay at home during the events.
