Harvest Festival
A yearly celebration in Carne Village in Overlord, danced around an altar at twilight in festive costume.
The Harvest Festival is a yearly celebration held in Carne Village, a farming settlement of the New World in Overlord, and its stated purpose is to lift what the villagers take to be an evil curse on the land. An altar is set up in the middle of the village, and at twilight the villagers put on splendid festive costumes and dance around it in thanks. Village folklore, as the chieftain tells it, holds that the festival began as a way to placate and entertain the evil spirits sleeping in the ground, on the understanding that angry spirits mean a poor harvest. In the years when the festival lapsed, for bad weather or for want of interest, a run of failed harvests followed and the villagers reinstated it.
