People of Sapience,

It is with excitement that I come to you with news of a holiday, one that has not been celebrated until now. As such I am coming to you some weeks early, so that you may prepare yourselves.

The inaugural Feast of All Avarice is upon us, and will be held for the benefit of the Congregation of Corruption, but all Creatures around the world are invited to join us in this mindset and to spread the atmosphere of Avarice in their own neighborhoods.

The Feast will mark the majority of this year as a time of meditation and celebration, to contemplate Avarice in all its more neglected forms. It is not a selfish holiday, but like all celebrations is to be enjoyed with your families and loved ones.

Understood simply, Avarice is the most transparent of the Gifts, and the one that many identify first in themselves. But Avarice has hidden complexities. It is a mask for Despair, for inherent in the phrase 'I want' is the unspoken truth: 'I do not have.' As Avarice walks a tightrope towards the object of its desire, it is a demonstration of Might, with Fear and Malice both waiting to catch it should it fall. We all have a healthy appreciation for Avarice, but we rarely give it the thoughtfulness it deserves, in all its glory.

The Feast of All Avarice is a time to reflect upon this most pregnant Gift, and to stoke and inspire Avarice. Not in ourselves, but in others. In this time, we reflect not on our own desires, but instead on the desires of our fellows. What do our neighbors want? Why do they want it?

Contemplate these things, and learn the hearts of others, so that you may better understand your faith and yourself. The celebration will begin on the first day of Chakros, and will continue until the 16th of Slpyhian 471.

The world shall descend Her spiral.
