The Kissing Festival happens at the very end of Chalice Rising (at the start
of Aprilis) as a gateway from the religious holiday's austerity into the
brighter, more cheerful celebrations of Spring Awakening.

The specific tradition originated in Wilhelm when a local woman, in a state of
drunkenness after the tilling and planting was at last completed, moved from
man to man securing a kiss from each person she encountered. Not to be
outdone, the other women of the village followed suit, and it became a yearly
tradition - particularly popular in the cities, where Spring Awakening is
less tied to the earth.

One of the foremost insults in Wilhelm stems from this festival - 'You
couldn't even get kissed at the Kissing Festival' (man to man), or 'I
wouldn't even kiss you at the Kissing Festival' (woman to man), and 'You
won't find me at the Kissing Festival' (man to woman [rare]) - and has been
known to be the cause of quite a few fistfights and more in Wilhelm. Local
midwives claim that nine months following the festival is their busiest
season. Pregnancies soon after the Kissing Festival are looked upon with
envy by other women, and the baby is considered to be one born in luck.
