Today is Havach. The night of freedom.
During Havach, everyone is the same.
Kings are now peasants,
And everyone are Kings.
You are supposed to wear your Sacred Mask during Havach
Upon birth, everyone is given a Sacred Mask.
And newcomers to the kingdom are given one upon entry, unless they already have a Sacred Mask.
When you don your Sacred Mask, it all falls away.
You can only see people for their Sacred Mask.
And although they are all different, they are all exactly the same.
A king could be dining with the lowliest peasant, and they could be chatting like friends.
A nobleman could fall in love with a peasant, and not know it till the end of the day.
During Havach, no one is special.
And everyone is, at the same time.
Some leave for their homes before Havach ends, wishing to keep the mystery.
However, if you wish to find someone who you liked during Havach?
You will have to comune with the High Priest
Who is the only one who can not participate.
However, he too, wears a Mask, if only play along.
But hes knows all their names, by memory, and cannot participate in the fun.
Where is he now?
He is in a tavern.
Having a drink all alone.
His is a sad tale, one of woe.
One no one can ever know.
Because on this Havach, the night of freedom.
He is the only one chained.
