DAY ONE Druids and wizards light the bonfires at dusk, symbolizing the end of the harvest season and a renewed bond between their kinds. A great feast is cooked over the bonfires, with portions set aside for the spirits that break through the veil to communicate with their loved ones At the end of the evening, each guest is permitted to take a branch of fire from the bonfires, enchanted to ensure it burns until they arrive home safely
