Part 1: What areas celebrate Darkest Night?

Hello Research Staff!
I report from Fallow’s Island that the people here indeed celebrate Darkest Night. As the name of the festival suggests it gets really dark here at this time of the year, so it is a tradition to gather in the streets and light them up with little lanterns (especially children tend to craft their own special lanterns, or at least decorate the existing ones with art) and candles all over the place (well, not all over the place, that would be a bit impractical).
   Music is played, people are exchanging stories, dancing and they put on costumes (more on those in another letter)! Patches told me they’re usually not often socializing with others, but Darkest Night is one of the few days that draws them out of their home and to the people ...even if they still stand in some distance mostly. We will probably dress up for the event and join the others, I’m so excited! And a bit intimidated.
I will write a follow up letter soon

Behind that first letter is another one, with a few images attached.
I’m writing right before going out to join the festivities! Patches and I built lanterns together that we will bring with us! (They helped me carve the apple!)
