Greyhawk Holiday
Faerieluck
Type: Cultural
Frequency: Annual
Date(s): Early spring
Duration: One day
Activities: Practical jokes and merriment
Significance: Celebrates kinship between elves and fey.

In elven culture, Faerieluck is a holiday celebrated in early spring, when the power of Faerie runs high and they celebrate with their fey cousins: sprites, buckawns, pixies, nymphs and so forth. The point of the festival is to remind elves of their ancient kinship with these creatures. The day is spent playing practical jokes, engaging in battles of wit, and general merriment.

Faerieluck may occur on the same day as Great Moon's Glory (Readying 11).[citation needed]
