THE YEAR OF THE FAST

[amyselia 2962]

 

St. Daniel of Al’Khazar, the first King after the Silence.

 

THE LITURGICAL CALENDAR DICTATES 

THE YEAR 1873 AS THE FAST OF THE SILENCE.

 

The silence was a period of human history succeeding the reigns of Horen and Owyn as rulers of the Kingdom. The era contains dubious historical documentation, infringed by canon myth and legend that cannot be discerned as either fact or fantasy. The year 1873 coincides with the liturgical devotion to the Fast of the Silence, a tradition of the faith in which men are recommended to sacrifice intemperate cravings in order to submit themselves unto God’s virtue, imitating the taciturn period aforementioned.

 

The city of Vienne invites all to partake of this fast, commencing on the preceding month in the form of the Savoyard’s Smirking Bacchanal, the celebration of the tavern’s grand re-opening. This is to be followed by The Promise Day. In the final month of the year, the Weary Harvest shall occur, collecting the food necessary for the Breaking of the Fast.

THE PROMISE DAY

The fasting audience will jointly tumble one of the trees of the Vienne Forests with one big push, hulling it to an open area to be chopped into flat circular pieces. Attendants will then be made to carve a single word that symbolizes excess in their life into the slabs. Finally, the slabs will be tossed into a burning pyre, erect from the residual wood. This process symbolizes the promise of fasting.
