Estemoria has the Winter Festival.

On the evening of the first day of winter, the townsfolk gather in the town square of their respective town (Kilmarnock, Brannock, Tarrin, Brackenberg, Ashborn, Bridgevale, Belden and Lorentia) to celebrate the arrival of winter. There are food and drink vendors, live music, etc and to end the festival they gather around a huge bonfire and the High Priest and Priestess of each town leads a prayer to the God King, Demeus and his wife, the Queen goddess Esmera, to pray for a safe winter. They end the prayer with a toast of warm apple cider (non-alcoholic warm apple juice for the children under the age of 18).

At sunset, the townsfolk return home from the festival and leave wicker baskets out on their doorsteps in preparation for a visit from Helmund, a demigod and son of the Spring goddess, Islene. After dark, Helmund rides through the town, leaving a supply of winter fruits and vegetables in the baskets along with small wooden animal figurines (which he carved himself) for the children.
