Tumhuem

Tumhuem
Quarter	Mid Tessera
Day	24
Summary	Ramath-lehi's equivalent to Hallowe'en.

Tumhuem can be seen as something of the Ramathian equivalent of the Earth's Halloween - except in the aspect that there's no candy-giving. Dressed in costumes (often with themes tied to death, horror, and the macabre, as with the holiday's ancient relation), groups of Ramathians attend huge parties and masquerades that begin at around ten o'clock (this custom was started after the first Tumhuem party). And, just like its counterpart, Lybaj'tpui, Tumhuem is the time for celebrity partying.

Beginning at 22 hours on Mid Tessera 24 (the first night of Tumhuem), the rich and famous will invite over masses of those of their own social standing to their own mansions and estates, with the parties usually ended at around two in the morning. The party goers then go to sleep during the day until ten o'clock has come around again, and the party is rekindled again. A select few (usually those close to the host) will stay at the host's residence for the entire week, until the holiday has ended (Mid Tessera 34). However, most just hop from party to party. The exact origins of the holiday are unknown.
