Sun May 31, 2009 7:06 am Walpurgis, a holiday of Nerull?

According to Clay Luthers Greyhawk Calendar here on canonfire!, there is a holiday on the 18th of Flocktime called walpurgis. the calendar suggests that this is a holiday of Nerull. Ive used this assumption to set up a plot involving a cult of Nerull based on the 4 (6 in my campaign) Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Does anyone know if my assumption about Walpurgis is correct? If not, then whos holiday is it? If so, do you have any information regarding this holiday and its rites?

This is a fan-created thing, but it's as correct as you want it to be. It's not in the published books. Walpurgis is a real thing, though, so you could draw inspiration from the real-life holiday of that name.

Thanks for the info. i did happen to look up Walpurgis on wikipedia before i posted this. I was just curious as to whether there was any actual published source material for the holiday. Im just gonna run with it. Thanks.

If your looking for a Nerullite holy day, you might want to consider the Blood Moon Festival ...It may be celebrated in a fashion similar to Walpurgis Night...And, of course, I could be wrong...
