Okay, everypony. I have a super duper absolutely utterly important question to ask all of you. I really, really need an answer from everypony. It's that important.

Close to the harvest festival... [He straightens a little.] Mine is January 17th.

I will make you a cake, and you will be ruined on every other cake you will ever eat.

Harvest festival? I've never heard of that before.

[Still, he's writing down that date. ]

I am seriously looking forward to being spoiled for cakes for the rest of my natural life.

There is a lot of feasting and drinking involved in my world's numerous festivals. In late November, there are tables piled with food set up outside of cities. People are encouraged to share food and stories. The actual Harvest Festival is meant to honor fallen heroes, but there is feasting too. It's in September.

I am fairly sure the world is powered by ale at this point.

Huh, how about that. That's usually when we're getting our harvest in, but we store most of our food. We need it to last the winter.

[There are some downpoints to being a herbivorous society and access to decent food when its not really growing is one of those things. ]

We have cider, mostly. That's our go-to drink.

I think the Horde imports a lot of supplies. The main city is in a desert, so there isn't much difference between winter and summer. And Silvermoon, where I live, has a sort of permanent summer as well.

We ponies control our own weather, so it's a little different, I guess. We have desert communities, but they have their food imported, or they grow what they can where they can.
