Liar's Night

Liar's Night takes place on the 30th day of Marpenoth.

Liar's Night pays tribute to the deities Leira and Mask, it is celebrated to appease them and guard from their attention. Liar's Night is celebrated by donning costumes or glamours to disguise ones self and pretend to be that which they are not. Commons masks include the symbols of Mask himself, and the mirror masks of the priests of Leira. Though there's no limit on the disguise you may choose to don; the more elaborate the costume, the more celebrated the wearer is.

Celebrations
The celebrations begin in the evening when people place candles into gutted pumpkins or gourds which have had faces carved into them. Each pumpkin represents a person who has donned a mask, while the candle light represents who they truly are. For as long as the candle is lit, lies told and embarrassing acts won't harm a person's reputation so celebrations often devolve into chaotic anarchy. Bad luck comes to those who return after celebrating to their pumpkin's candle unlit, and intentionally blowing out someone else's candle or smashing their pumpkin risks drawing the ire of both Mask and Leira.

Tricks, pranks, and even pickpockets are common on this night; thus tradition has people filling their pockets with candy in lieu of money which the pickpockets take and replace with a small token such as a folded scrap of paper, or a trinket. Though usually people just trade candy at face value, and give it to children who ask.

Trivia
