CRASHMASS
Every year in the depths of winter the people of TRI celebrate by giving gifts to each other in honor of The Great Scavenger, a being who wandered from continent to continent, giving gifts to those in need during a particularly nasty winter when many were starving and a gigantic space war resulted in tons of debris falling onto the three continents, resulting in the destruction of many homes.
Legend says The Great Scavenger was able to not only help those in need, he could use technology in Distant Oceans, and magic in Synthatek! There seemed to be no end to his generosity and power. He rebuilt homes, healed the hurt, and turned much of the falling debris into useful materials.
So overwhelmed were the people of TRI, an annual tradition was created, where people would build small spaceships and decorate it with fiery colorful lights, symbolizing the falling destruction. At the base of the ship would be presents, often made from random things scavenged on the world of TRI, a representation of the gifts The Great Scavenger gave to those in need.
With the passage of time, the tradition has become more of a gift giving event, and traders, merchants, and scavengers are regarded in higher honor than usual at Crashmass. People tend to pay a bit more for their wares in honor of The Great Scavenger, especially when the purchase is to be gifted to another.
To this day, falling space debris is more common in the depths of winter, particularly on Crashmass day. Whether this is done by some unknown force, Big Sister, the ancient Wizards Council, or some other entity is unknown. Some even believe it's The Great Scavenger sending gifts down from the skies. Pilgrims will try to trek to the town of Stargazer, believing The Great Scavenger might operate out of there, though their presence usually results in trouble, either for them or the residents of that place.
Whether The Great Scavenger ever truly existed is the subject of much debate. There are still some loyal followers who swear he was real, while others regard him as one of the many fables told on the world of TRI. Whichever is true, the tradition of Crashmass remains to this day.
