I agree. My guess is that typical tribes have an Allthing during the
Ernalda Holy week, for the following reasons. It's the only religious
festival, other than Sacred Time, that lasts longer than a day.
Participants are likely to be in good spirits, and more open to
Ernaldian peacemaking, because of the harvest bounty and the
religious ceremonies. Travel and camping in the open air is agreeable
at that time of year. Assuming the Holy week is a harvest
thanksgiving, rather than a harvest blessing, people are not too
busy. Ernalda has a special connection to the 'spiritual' side of a
tribe, its whyter [not too sure about this, can someone clarify?
Whyters are seemingly now out of fashion, and the Ernaldan spiritual
side was something I learnt from a passing remark.]. There would be
plenty of barley for brewing beer!
