moons, Secunda, is remembered in the Moon Festival in Glenumbra Moors on the 8th of Suns
Dusk, just as the nights begin to grow longer.
The more recently created holidays of High Rock are those like Tibedetha, "Tibers Day,"
celebrated every 24th of Mid Year in honor of Alcaire's most famous, son, Tiber Septim.
Likewise, Othroktide on the 5th of Suns Dawn is held in honor of the first and most illustrious
Baron of Dwynnen. In quite extreme contrast, Marukh's Day on the 9th of Second Seed, is a
solemn holiday, immortalizing the lessons of the equally solemn 1st Era prophet Marukh. My
favorite of the modern Breton festivals has to be Mad Pelagius, held in mock honor of the
most eccentric of the Septim Emperors. Pelagius was, after all, a prince of Wayrest before he
became King of Solitude, and then Emperor of Tamriel. The Bretons like to boast that it was
his time in High Rock that drove him mad.
