#TavQOTD Holidays
Elayna celebrates any holiday she can by going to local festivals and celebrations. The main exception is the Reign of Misrule. As a Tymora worshiper, a holiday for Beshaba is one she stays away from. But otherwise, point her to a party she's there, most likely performing.

First love
While under Bhaal's thumb, "love" wasn't on Darius' radar, fascination and hyper-fixation was.
Rae, however, some how, some way, managed to sneak a sliver of himself into Darius' heart, one promtly forgotten when Orin rearranged his brain.

Waterdeep has plenty of holidays, and Des celebrates them all. Her favorites are Dragondown and Simril.
During Dragondown, she is among the mages in the parade, as is expected of Blackstaff faculty members.
Every Simril, Des takes the melody mount walk up to her favorite stargazing spot (cont)

Veliss celebrates almost all Waterdhavian festivities. Some of them because well, they are a tavern owner and those are busy days. Some others because they are participating either as a volunteer, a follower of the faith or a paid bard in galas&events.

Xal never had his first love because he never sought it and is generally sceptical about love, but he did feel some sympathy for an unbearable paladin who actually saved him from execution and endless drunkenness. ⬇️

Mercy was adopted by House Baenre when she was found as an infant in the underdark. Keres was the bastard child of a disgraced member of a rival house that was destroyed, and they decided to join Baenre as a soldier.

Conleth, their sunshine💛
Diadon had dated, had partners but not like Conleth. Something was different, softer, more intimate.
But some people influenced Diadon, making them believe the soon-to-be paladin didn't love them, but was trying to convert them to the "good" side.

She would say that /TECHNICALLY/ he was not her 1st love, because her first love was one from her prior life, pertaining to a woman now dead.
