For years now, an unexplainable spell has taken hold of the citizens of the Apostolic Kingdom. These citizens would lie in the muddied streets of the White City or the grasses of Angrenost, staring up at the sky. Intoned with acceptance, they chant the phrase “For we are grim and we do not judge” over and over and over again. As if a sudden fever had come upon them, they would continue on the day after as if nothing had happened. Such a tradition is known as Grimday day. 

 

Founded by members of House Mithrenion, House Marsyr, and House Vourkehardt, Grimday day has grown from a whimsical escape from reality to a treasured tradition occurring every Saint’s Thursday. For the citizens of the fiefdom of Angrenost, Grimday day shall henceforth be a formal holiday, and every citizen of Angrenost must wish each other a very happy Grimday day. Celebrations of Grimday Day can take on many forms, but these are the very highly recommended and probably mandatory celebrations that must absolutely take place every Grimday day:

 

• Participants must lie on the ground and stare at the sun, basking in the little warmth it provides to the world and their souls. 
• The haunted chanting of the fabled words of Grimday day should be repeated over and over again to foreigners until they eventually give in to the unimaginable pain of peer pressure and join in on the celebrations. For we are grim and we do not judge.
• The sharing of names and what is making you so grim is absolutely MANDATORY. Those who do not share their grimness are inhibiting others from having a great Grimday day. 
• Grim thoughts and feelings should be reserved for Grimday day. To share these thoughts outside of the holiday not only brings darkness to your life but goes against the very spirit of the holiday, which is to remind you of how grim your life is (Just for the day). 
• At the end of Grimday day, you are happy again. No exceptions.

 

The Ruling House of Mithrenion hopes that these guidelines for a great Grimday day reach receiving ears and aid in the goal of having a healthy and prosperous life.
