New Moon Celebration- This holiday comes on the day of the last new moon of the year. Athnian's make candle lanterns and send them up into the sky to light the night. This tradition started many decades ago due to the Grygor invading on a night where the moon was not present. Many think that sending these lanterns into the sky will ward off the Grygor for another year to come. These lanterns are hand made and many try to make the fanciest and most complicated lanterns possible.
Tricksters Festival- This day is the day of tricks and mischief throughout Athna. Everyone gets in on the fun, many play harmless pranks on others whilst others prefer t play tricks on the unsuspecting. Some cause small bits of mischief, these being small problems such as small missing items or items moving around seemingly by themselves. At the end of the day people are usually covered in mud and many Itsine actually have their fur dyed a funny color. Some people are even unlucky enough to have been hit with a cursed charm!
