The Reckoning

Nollaig 5

Observed by: Common, particularly in urban areas

The Reckoning is the high holy day of Aridnus the Fair, set on Nollaig 5th. The day is marked with a solemn morning service intended to remind adherents of their duty to truth and proper judgement. After this service, merchants and craftsmen are expected to come to the priests of Aridnus to have their weights and measures examined and approved. Particularly devout worshipers are also expected to submit themselves for judgement for any sins they have yet to atone for in the previous year. In regions where the priesthood of Aridnus act as secular judges, the day is usually marked with the execution of criminals and judicial fines from the previous year are to be paid on this day.
