The day before highsummer, visitors to Firnost may discover every tea cup is gone, completely gone. This maybe particularly disturbing to any sluagh. And yet? By dawn the next morning of High Summer holiday (Which the Pooka call Pranksgiving) tea cups have been returned. All is well.
Well,they have been jazzed up for the holiday. Many of them now have smiles and cutesy blushing faces upon them, so adorably sweet its saccharine. Others are adorned in gaudy almost tye dye like patterns as to almost hurt the eyes.
Will the original ever be returned, or is the lot in life for the Firnostian tealover?
Highsummer Night, July 17th Staged to coincide with the hottest part of the summer, Highsummer Night epitomizes mirth and freedom. It also provides an excuse to gather Glamour from the “heat dreams” of mortals. During these celebrations, changelings are free to toy with any mortals they encounter.Pooka consider this festival their special holiday and refer to it as “Pranksgiving.” They hold a competition among themselves to see who can play the most outrageous practical joke on a human. The winner gains tremendous prestige. Highsummer pranks sometimes turn malicious, even though jests which result in loss of life or serious injury are regarded as inartistic and tasteless. Tangled romances, mistaken identities, transformations and thefts of heroic proportions have greater appeal for pooka.Many Kithain weddings take place on Highsummer Night, though not so many as at Beltaine.
