Wiccrhys
18 Patchwall
Wiccrhys, originally celebrated as Samhain ("Oidche Samha"), or All Hallows Eve in Geoff, the Ulek states, and Druidic areas. The borders of the spirit world grow thin this night, so people traditionally dress as spirits and cavort all night as faeries are always depicted as doing. The hope is that true spirits will not recognize them as mortal and thus not harm them. 'Soulcakes' are begged of passerby, and some larger cities also have a great mummers' play in which everybody dies at the end but then resurrect themselves. Persons being raised from the dead on this night receive a +20% bonus to their survival rolls, but evil is also strengthened. Aside from the obvious danger of summoned fiends et. al., saves vs. spells from any evil caster are at -2.
