Lost Queen : It sort of depends on the rank of the family. Though, no matter what, there are two celebrations. The first celebration happens when the clutch is laid. This usually only includes the parents and those closest to them to celebrate with song, dances, and plenty of specialty drinks brewed only for clutch-laying celebrations. There is a fun tradition of the dam and sire having to drink a pint per egg.
However, the second celebration is often city wide. Naturally, Kuros all breed around the same time, so the eggs all hatch within a single week. If a kuros pair bred early, or even if the pair didn’t breed that year, they still participate in this celebration of new life. Possibly one of the biggest celebrations of our tradition, this one lasts for an entire week until most of the eggs hatch.
The second celebration, called “Feilradh Dol’Leasolbocht” or, “Festival of New Life”, often includes visiting as many of the newly hatched babies and congratulating the parents; even if you don’t personally know them. Other activities include lots of dancing, food, music, gifts, and social bonding.
Kurogh wasn’t too big on this celebration, but I did my best to visit as many families as I could. There’s just something about newly hatched children that filled me with such hope and love for our people… I miss it, I miss this festival.
