4th is the Luna's Full Moon
18th is Luna's New Moon
11th is Tanabat: Also known as the Seven Sisters Festival. Legend has it that Olidammara was entertained on this day by seven lovely sisters, who welcomed him in his guise as a minstrel and treated him royally. So impressed was he by their treatment and their wine that he revealed himself and offered to transport them to hishalls, there to live in bliss forever. Though the vineyard's exact location is a mystery, the legend is widespread, and many grape-growing regiions claim that the Seven Sisters came from their lands. At night, therefore, the story is acted out and poeple head out to the grape arbors, listening for echoes of the sisters' laughter as they ascended to paradise. The rest of the holiday is a celebration of grape and its byproducts and features prayers for a good vitage in the coming year, as well as much celebration and sampling of the previous year's wines. It is especially sacred to followers of the Laughing Rogue, though followers of other nature deities often officiate as well.
