-The **Festival of Death** is a Jaernian festival held on the first day of Pim (10/1) each year. Dedicated to all those who have passed on in the previous year, this is a very beautiful and enrapturing ceremony. Thousands of candles are lit, choirs sing sonorous songs about the afterlife, and a rich feast of rare and delicious foods is served.

+=== Day of Remembrance ===
+A spiritual holiday helmed by the Anubian and Anpuan churches across both Jaern and Cahyali, despite being a largely communal effort from those that celebrate. Having originated from the Splintian holiday La Migración, this is a day dedicated to the lives of all those that have passed on, and is said to be a day during which their souls return to their families, just for an evening.
+It is traditional for families to set out altars dedicated to the deceased adorned with imagery of butterflies, skulls, and jackal heads. It is also traditional to leave out food, specifically sweet breads, for the deceased as well as personal items of those who have passed to remember them by. Some families who have access to them will also put out photos or paintings of the dead on their altars as well. While most of the time, this tradition is limited to the walls of the family home, some communities in which the celebration of this day is particularly strong will throw community-wide events where food, stories, and celebrations abound.
+It is most important to note that this celebration is not a somber one. Yes, it is a day of remembering the dead, but it is most importantly one that acknowledges and celebrates the lives that they got to live and gives families a chance to share in their grief and continue to live in spite of it, for someday they will be reunited again in the Death God's halls.
