Does anyone have any holidays that they celebrate around this time of year back home? I feel that, after what we have experienced, spreading a bit of cheer might help take the edge off things. I would also like to know if there are any similarities between our worlds. Perhaps if we find a common correlation, we may be able to understand why we were brought here.

I can start us off. Where I am from, we celebrate the Harrowing. People from all over Valoran dress in costumes, to confuse the evil spirits that rise from the depths of the Shadow Isles. Most of it is superstition, but I have heard of cases where sailors who were lost at sea suddenly appear once more during this time.

Does anyone have a similar tradition where they're from? I would like to hear about it. Maybe we can take a few of these ideas and celebrate here. It might be good to have something for the people here to look forward to, rather than focusing on recent events.

That's true. It's so easy to forget that sometimes. There are some worlds that sound very different from mine, but finding commonalities in spite of that is comforting.

I assumed that stump day had something to do with trees! I can see why they might like it, being able to celebrate the heroes that defend your home is important. Still, I can't say that we have anything like that where I am from.

Are dragons common in your world?

a lot of worlds are pretty different than mine, but some things always seem to remain a constant. good and bad things.

well you... probably have a lot fewer people missing limbs than back in my home. which is good! the fact that we have stump day at all is probably a little crazy.

really common. there are hundreds just on berk. they're pretty incredible.

I suppose you might be right, although I believe lost limbs might be more common in Bilgewater. I can't say for certain, since I haven't been there myself, and I don't have a reason to visit the harbor back home. Perhaps one day!

Hundreds? That does sound incredible. I know that they exist in my world, but I haven't met one myself. There are rumors that one of our Prince's royal guards is one, but that has never been proven. She's... intense, for lack of a better word. But I would love to visit a place where dragons are common. I couldn't begin to imagine what living there must be like.
