In a far land there are seasonal stories, legends that are told only on a specific day each year, or only in the dry season, or only when observing a winter sunset, and so on. The system is quite elaborate; it’s set forth in the holy books and never changes.
One who tells the right story at the wrong time, or the wrong story at the right time, will never achieve anything serious in life. Whispers follow him like the night.
