The elves celebrate a holiday they call the "day of the soul." They exchange gifts with their neighbors and friends in the morning and play music and feast in the evening. The idea behind the holiday is to promote feelings of camaraderie and forgiveness. It was started after an event the elves refer to as "the sundering," where powerful magics used by the elven nations at war drowned a large portion of their own lands in the sea.

Especially love the magically inspired suggestions: the day of the returning dead being an excellent example of how DM's can exploit the fantastic permissiveness of the system. Sometimes people get trapped in just rehashing what happens in the real world, and forget to take advantage of how flexible these games can be--posts like yours help remind us, so thanks! Love this post, Jonathan.
