In addition to the main Nord holidays and the Tamriel wide festivals, the town of Hofborg has a few additional special days on their calendar. (Many of the events are Fanon adaptations of other holiday's in Tamriel.)
Sun's Dusk (November)
Moon Blessing
Sun's Dusk 8th
On the 8th of Sun's Dusk, the villagers of Hofborg attend an event known as Útiseta, or outsitting. This tradition comes from earlier days when the gift of magical ability was considered rare or difficult to attain. It was believed that a person might gain the power to become a shaman or clever practitioner if they would sit out all night in the woods engaged in meditative reflection and vision questing. This holiday is attended by all of the villagers during a dark-of-night picnic-style dinner around the Vard tree. As the night continues those who interested in the vision quest, wish to gain additional magicaka, earn the skill of prophecy or young people who wish to become clever practitioners themselves remain. (Fanon)
As more Breton's are drawn to Hofborg they will comment on how similar the practice is to the Moon Festival held in on the Glenumbra Moors, where the Bretons honor Secunda, goddess of the moon. Although the goddess has no active worshippers, even in Glenumbra, the Hofborg Bretons have take the similarities of the event as the good will inclusion of other beliefs and thus the celebration often includes prayers, poems and offerings in Secunda's name. (Canon)
Warrior's Repose
Sun's Dusk 20th Today is the 20th of Sun's Dusk, the Warriors Festival in cityName. Most all the local warriors, spellswords, and rogues come to the equipment stores and blacksmiths where all weapons are half price. Unfortunately, the low prices also tempt many an untrained boy to buy his first sword and the normally quiet cityName streets ring with amateur skirmishes. The regentTitle has pardoned most of these ruffians in the past, but has promised to be less merciful this year. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for Mehrunes Dagon.
