It is unknown if this holiday is still celebrated by the [[Spheroid Clans]] during the [[Jihad Era]] and throughout the [[ilClan Era]]. ==References== ==References== − <references />+ *''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', pp. 7-8, 50 ==Bibliography== ==Bibliography== − * ''[[The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky]]'' + *''[[The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky]]'' − * ''[[Historical: Operation Klondike]]'' − * ''[[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]]'' − [[Category:Clan Culture]] + + [[Category:Clan Terms]] [[Category:Holidays]] [[Category:Holidays]]
