[Tips] Divine blessings are a given during festivities, especially when the god in question is the one being celebrated. Some of the divine go so far as to descend and mingle with their subjects via an avatar.

By high noon, the party was in full swing. The magistrate’s address was a simple one, and as was the case every year, it lasted only a few minutes. Eckard Thuringia, the master of Konigstuhl Castle and magistrate of the canton of the same name, emerged wearing a dignified breastplate with a handful of knights by his side. He offered a few words on the year’s harvest, prayed for a serene winter from atop his horse, and quickly took his leave. I figured he still needed to attend to the other cantons under his rule.

As an aside, the sermon that replaced our usual mass was also quite short. This was because the festival in and of itself was a form of hymn, psalm, and prayer in praise of the Harvest Goddess, so we had no need for lengthy worship. It was not because our bishop was such an infamous lover of wine that some questioned whether or not he worshipped the Wine God. And he certainly did not shout “We shall finish our prayer later!” because he wanted to skip ahead to the drinking...I believe. Or at least, I’d like to believe so. I think that he wouldn’t do something like that...in fact, let’s just go with that. Whatever the case, this short preamble explained why the citizens of the canton were so utterly gone within the first few hours of the day.

“Mmhee,” Margit giggled, “are you drinking?”

“I am, I am.”

My usual arachne necklace was no exception. Seeing her baby face flushed red as she slurred words was downright criminal, but rather common in this land. Boiling pots and elementary filtration devices made with cloth, gravel, and charcoal gave Rhinians access to clean water, but those means were too expensive for everyday use. Most of the time, drinking water was sanitized with alcohol.

With its relatively warm climate, southern Rhine was the grape production capital of the Empire. It wasn’t quite as temperate as the smaller states along the southern ocean, but it was good enough for grapevines to flourish and wine to flow through the region. At this time of year, you could go out into the streets to see a constant flow of wagons carrying full loads of wine out of the breweries under the Wine God’s influence.

What was more, the church brought barrels and barrels of the stuff out from its own wine cellar for the holiday. This spectacle was what happened when people let their actions outpace their thoughts and knocked back the strong liquor without diluting it. I didn’t need to check to know what was causing the sour smell emanating from the trees surrounding the town square.

This was the state of affairs in the early afternoon; is this canton going to be all right for the wedding? Well, the weddings of yesteryear had managed somehow, so I was sure it’d all work out.
