Mortals have many strange days. Many of which are named after Saints.
Now a saint is a mortal who has done wonderful things in their short life and therefore get granted sainthood by their brethren. Thus they become godlike.
Now, immortals have no such need for this kind of thing, however, the Great Gumba finds it amusing to watch the Lesser Hoards running about and being silly.
Today is one such day, the day of Saint Valentine.
Now some say this day was created by merchants and vagabonds, wanting another day to sell goods they could not sell otherwise.
After all who would by flowers and chocolate in February?
Send scribing on parchment and such.
Some say tis a day for sweethearts and such.
Whilst others say it is a day for love, Ahhh, love.
Rich, hot, sweaty, love. Huugh, sorry about that. Now where were we?
Saint Valentines day is a day when a tiny little sprite, named cupid, armed with arrows from Aphrodite, causes much mayhem in the Mortal and Immortal world alike.
For cupids arrows are dipped in a love potion, not real love mind you but frothy love.
The kind that can get people in way over their head way to fast.
These are things that Aphrodite enjoys, affairs of the heart, flirtatious frivolity, springtime endeavors, so to speak.
Thus cupid strikes, shooting mortals with his arrows and smittening them onto one another.
Today is a day for Love, Lust and dare I say Wanton Abandonment. The flower vendors are very happy cupid strikes today, the chocolatiers are also happy. Minstrels play happy tunes and all rejoice in merrymaking.
For today is Saint Valentines Day.
Huzzah to Saint Valentine.
Huzzah to Cupid.
So Sayeth the Great white Sage of the Northron Regions.
