I'm curious if there is something like this, at all.

And if there is, we should totally do it on Amia? <.<

I do not want RL holidays in game.

You might see a few DMs run "Halloweenish" plots or something, but I really doubt if we'll ever be seeing anything remotely like Halloween as an IC holiday.

I think the idea of a masquerade ball would be great

Yes!
Humans dress up as ghosts and zombies and elves and Tieflings and said creatures dress up as humans.

I shall stand by your side, sirrah! I think all that hullowoon crap is nonesense IRL and especially IG.

Hmph. You want the server to celebrate Halloween, but I didn't see any characters come out of the closet yesterday. Shame, shame, shame.

<Snip> getting in costume and then going out to raise the dead 'til who-knows-when. Some of you people should really get into the spirit.

And of course... Amia -totally- doesn't incorporate RL events into its mini-plots....

The undoer spewing black ichor in the lake was just a coincidence to BP....

The Calendar of Harptos

Most of Faerun uses the Calendar of Harptos, named after the long-dead wizard who invented it. Few bother to refer to Harptos by name, since the calendar is the only calendar they know.

Each year of 365 days is divided into 12 months of 30 days, and each month is divided into three tendays. Five special days fall between the months. These annual holidays mark the seasons or the changing of the seasons. The months of Faerun roughly correspond to the months of the Gregorian calendar.



Midwinter

Nobles and monarchs greet the halfway point of winter with a feast day they call the High Festival of Winter. Traditionally it's the best day to make or renew alliances. The common folk enjoy the celebration a bit less - among them it's called Deadwinter Day, noted mainly as the halfway point of winter, with hard times still to come.

Greengrass

The official beginning of spring is a day of peace and rejoicing. Even if snow still covers the gournd, clerics, nobles, and wealthy folk make a point of bringing out flowers grown in special rooms within temples and castles. They distribute the flowers among the people, who wear them or cast them upon the ground as bright offerings to the deities who summon the summer.

Midsummer

Midsummer night is a time of feasting and music and love. Acquaintances turn into dalliances, courtships turn into betrothals, and the deities themselves take part by ensuring good weather for feasting and frolicking in the woods. Bad weather on this special night is taken as an omen of extremely ill fortune to come.

Highharvestide

This holiday of feasting to celebrate the autumn harvest also marks a time of journeys. Emissaries, pilgrims, adventurers, and everyone else eager to make speed traditionally leave on their journeys the following day - before the worst of the mud clogs the tracks and the rain freezes into snow.

The Feast of the Moon

The Feast of the Moon celebrates ancestors and the honored dead. Stories of ancestors' exploits mix with the legends of deities until it's hard to tell one from the other.

Shieldmeet

Once every four years, Shieldmeet is added to the Faerunian calendar as a "leap day" immediately following Midsummer night. Shieldmeet is a day of open council between the people and their rulers. It is a day for making or renewing pacts and for proving oneself in tournaments. Those not seeking advancement treat the elite's tournaments, duels and trials of magical prowess as welcome additions to the holiday's theatrical and musical entertainments.

(from Faiths and Pantheons: Shieldmeet is known as Cinnaeloscor, or "The Day of Corellon's Peace" to the elves.)

Well the Architect in Barak Runedar is still saying "Happy Halloween" ^^

Kjetta ganked one of my characters last year, by dropping a shitload of zombies on him in the kobold caves. 'Twas good times!
