Tags
Summary
Eliwyn’s father seeks her help.
Prompt word/phrase: “Sunday Brunch”
***
This one was especially tough as neither “Sunday” nor “brunch” exists in the Forgotten Realms. But I did find this interesting tidbit about meal times in FR:
Typical Daily Meal Schedule in Faerûn:
Mornfeast: Shortly after dawn, often eaten early.Highsunfeast: Taken at "Highsun," or true noon.
Evenfeast: The largest meal, usually served before sunset or in the early evening.
Highthar: A term for the late afternoon hours often used by merchants and elite for a light bite or social drinking.
I’ve also equated the last day of a tenday with our Sunday because that just seemed logical.

Summary
Eliwyn and Wyll make a new friend in the garden.
Prompt word/phrase: “Caterpillar/Butterfly”
***
The spell Eliwyn uses in this piece is Mend. I see some frequent discussion about how that spell can actually be used in D&D, for example can one use Mend to fix a broken bone? If I were ever to DM a campaign I would say yes BUT…it is not a clean or complete mend of the wound. So we see a bit of that incomplete healing here.

Summary
Prompt word/phrase: “Easter bunny”
***
This was a tough one since Easter and the Easter Bunny do not exist in FR. However, apparently the Easter Bunny is derived from a 1680s German folk festival. So I used that and renamed it The Festival of the Hare.
I also like the idea of it being a sort of reverse Easter in the Christian sense. Instead of celebrating the resurrection of a deity it is celebrated to bring about the resurrection of a deity.
