  • Late'quor (Crescent Moon): Corellon Larethian. Translated as "Forest Communion of the Crescent Moon," this rite sees the faithful offering up music, song, dance, and the offering of the most beautiful things of their own hands. Such art is usually retained by shrines and temples, but has occasionally been known to vanish entirely, taking to Arvandor. In such instances, great works of magic sometimes occur, resulting in a reshaping of the landscape, mighty blessings bestowed on the creator of the art or even a "trade", leaving behind an item that is readily enchanted and held as a relic of the faith.
  • Midnight Gambol (Full Moon): Erevan Ilesere. Celebration in a new, secret place each month, gained by word of mouth (though those clever enough to find it without being told are welcome). Often joined in revels by fey, and includes the sacrifice of beautiful objects (many stolen), dancing, wine, tale-telling and endless pranking.
  • Secrets of the Heart (Full Moon): Hanali Celanil. Romantic, blissful revels where those who are romantically involved are said to find the brightest expressions of their hearts. Sacrifices of beautiful things are made to Hanali, some of which are whisked into Arvandor, and the others given back out among the faithful. Artists often unveil their newest works at these events, and lovers often formally declare their troth to one another secretly or in public.
