Local Gods and Powers: Difference between revisions

During the Festival of Eggs, often a frightening and segmented effigy or puppet representing the ninth spoke, euphemistically called Old-Skin, is paraded among the people, aflame, and they take it to a pit of mud and cover it there, where it steams and cools and dissolves and hardens.

There is only one day associated with the Wyrm in the Sultanate’s culture. That is Adar 31st, The Year’s Gasp, which marks the Wheel’s inevitable turning, for good and for ill. Not a time for festival nor eid, but it is marked well by the people, and apotropaic rituals may be performed by the faithful. Occasionally, truly repentant Bashmu-kar will be received back into the community on this day under watch and purification by the B’aarat.</blockquote>
