When dusk comes on the winter solstice, folk go outside to locate particular stars that were lucky for their ancestors, or that were associated with their own births. They then stay up through the night, celebrating outside with bonfires, song, and warmed drinks. Cloudy nights often draw larger crowds than clear ones, since glimpsing your star through the haze is thought to be a blessing from Tymora. Inside buildings, service folk keep roaring fires and engage in making food to keep celebrants fed throughout the long night and into the morning of the next day.
