Thank the Maker for these first few days and first month. Back home, on the First Day of the First Month, we celebrate by rejoicing with our neighbors with much mead and merriment. Though in recent years, it has not been very merry due to the Blight, but the people require hope in order to go on.
For anyone who would like to accompany me, I will be at the pub in celebration of this new beginning. Drinks are on me!
