The wiki for year-end traditions mentions yule tide day, but the exact date is not given. Could we get an exact date? :sarp_thinking:
Sorry, not out of the christmas spirit quite yet!!

What Day of the Year is Yule Tide Day?
- Thread starter Ametheliana
- Start date
Solution
To the best of my knowledge, it's the last day of the year, which is to say the 35th day of the 9th month. If someone has RP evidence that shows otherwise, I'd like to check it out. Otherwise, that's the answer I'm going with.
Updated answer: According to my wiki article, Year-End Traditions occur the entire last month of the year and not on a specific day.

At least one of the past Yule threads has Yamatai's Year-End Traditions holiday bundle start on "the solstice," which is IRL 21st or 22nd of December, until New Years Day.
When I created one of my characters whose birthday is supposed to be the day after Yule, I was told by Wes that IC Christmas/Yule Day was on the 25th. I can't really cite this as it was done in chat DMs 8 years ago, but I wouldn't have made my character's birthday the wrong day without asking.

8 years ago would be 2016, so that was the year before we had the standard IC calendar (2017). It's likely that Yamatai's solstice is actually 9/35, especially since the recent calendar would likely be aligned based on the solstice (meaning it makes sense to use the longest night of the year as the place where the year starts and ends).
