My suggested tweaks:
- Yamatai would not claim to have originated the holiday
- Not sure food should say "these are the minimum" (maybe "these are the most common")
- I see "it's" where it should say "its"
- Elysians would probably see it as a religious holiday about a prophet of God
The reason for the holiday suddenly showing up IC in the RP should be explained by the occurance of three factors:
- Elysia has rejoined Yamatai and some ascpects of its culture and holidays are being picked up by Yamatai
- All the death and destruction of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War prompts people to want to celebrat life, friends, and family more
- Nepleslia can roll some of the Yule traditions into Pasco Day perhaps
Is Yule the best name for this? It's not any less religious of a term than Christmas or Saturnalia. Maybe we should just call it the "Year-End Festival" or "Winterfest" or build it into the new year's celebration.
Other stuff to add: apple cider, gingerbread houses, candy canes, jingle bells, maybe after the holidays, plots that participate can post examples of traditions actually roleplayed.
