This world seems to celebrate something very much like Hallow's End.

How curious.

[forever_witch]

It has a long history.

[wantedtostudy]

Oh? I'm not familiar with it.

[forever_witch]

Of course you wouldn't. It was quite some time ago.

[wantedtostudy]

...the festival in this world, you mean?

[13thkey]

What's Hallow's End?

[wantedtostudy]

It's an autumn festival celebrated in Lordaeron to commemorate the end of the harvest season.

Lol, awkward talk time? <3

[kyudousha]

... Yeah, what exactly is up with all of this... stuff around Somarium?

It's so weird.

Oh jeez. Here we go. <3

[wantedtostudy]

I'm not sure. The decorations are similar to that of an autumn festival in my world, but... it seems odd that they'd share a holiday of sorts. It's not out of the question, of course.

[kyudousha]

[Yay for averted eyes? :D Why so lackluster today, Rita /sob.]

... Yeah, I guess it would be... pretty weird.

[wantedtostudy]

[Something feels a bit off. Maybe it's just her, but...]

Do they have anything like this in your world, Rita?

[resonancy]

The name sounds similar to it, too.

[wantedtostudy]

Really? What's it called?

[resonancy]

I know it as Halloween.

[wantedtostudy]

Oh? ...that's rather fascinating. Then it exists in your world as well?

[chose_death]

A celebration is not how I would describe it.

[wantedtostudy]

Then what would you term it as?

[chose_death]

I see no festivals! The decorations have changed and that is all.

[Murmurs as an addendum] They have a gloomy countenance, similar to the Reaper. Hardly like any festivities!

[wantedtostudy]

Well, a world can hardly celebrate something on its own; The residents are left to that.

In my world, it originated as a festival to mark the end of harvest, hence the widespread use of pumpkins. They were hollowed out to use as lanterns. I suppose a motif of death does make sense given that with the end of the harvest season comes the onset of winter.
