[Costumes on fall harvests were common enough, but ghostly tales were not. Ghostly visitors less common still, and to be assailed by them several times the past few days was disturbing enough for the elvish Antivan. Having a safe haven from the ghosts? More than reason enough to brave the trek to the shrine from his home.]

I must admit, this seems almost like some of the harvest ceremonies practiced in rural Antiva. All else we need is a bonfire and a good barrel of cider.
