Feasts in Tubor

Tubori throw communal meals for their extended families at very little prompting. Feasts involve dancing and music, long yarns of epic and probably semi-concocted proportions, usually all sorts of games that test courage and physical prowess, and ample quantities of food. A huge pig is usually spit-roasted, alongside multiple smaller dishes.

Yule lasts for four days, and during this time all fireplaces are kept well banked against the surrounding chill. It is said to be bad luck for a fire to go out during Yule, so many cords of wood are set aside to prevent against that eventuality.
