Story Notes: The Feast of Khersen is the Khersian solstice celebration. It officially marks the nadir of the year, the exact moment that’s the midpoint of the longest night. According to Khersian traditions, a number of important events in the mortal existence of Lord Khersis were linked to this day
In days gone by, people would officially gather in solemn and pious religious observance at sunset of the preceding day (“Eventide”) and celebrate when the sun returned the next morning.
In modern times, the celebration more often begins during Eventide, though most practicing Khersians still attend a temple service before they get down to partying.
“Khersentide” is sometimes used to refer to the feast day, the two day celebration, or the winter holiday season in general.
