Novembertide

Novembertide is a festival celebrated in Scion, in commemoration of the founding of the first citadel of Scion. It is observed on 29 November, when the Scion Citadel of London was established.

History
On 29 November 1929, the first Inquisitor, Ramsay MacDonald, founded the Scion Citadel of London. Since then, Novembertide takes place annually on the same day.

Days Leading to Novembertide
Several weeks prior to Novembertide, on 8 November "November season" begins. On this day, two unnatural criminals are beheaded by the Grand Executioner on the Lychgate. Afterwards, families would gather in parlours and sing traditional Novembertide songs such as "The Peal of Old Paul's" around the piano.

Exchanging of Gifts
When Novembertide arrives, people exchange gifts, remembering how lucky they are to be a part of "the natural order."
