All right, there's a lot of new knight owners out there so y'all listen up. Whitsunday is coming up and that's a major socializing event for knights so you need to start making plans so your knight has a good time. Typical Whitsunday events include:
Feasting: This is the big one. Knights love Whitsunday feasts and it's usually not a problem if they overindulge themselves a little bit. It's always a good idea to consult an apothecary if your knight gets indigestion. The big issue is quaffing ale. In typical quaffing more ale ends up on the floor than inside the knight but some knights get too much ale and can end up violent. It's important to break up any drunken brawls before they get out of control.
Jousting: Not all Whitsunday events have jousts so check with your local king. If they are having jousts make sure your knight's equipment is in good order. This is a good time to buy a new helm or cloak for your knight as well. Also make sure to have a good speech prepared for when you give your knight your favor, that's a key part of bonding with your knight. If your knight wants to enter as a mystery knight then pretend not to recognize them and then be super shocked when they're revealed. They eat that up.
Boasting: Boasting about their quests for the year is a big part of Whitsunday celebrations. If your knight hasn't accomplished a quest this year now is a good time to give them a small, simple quest so they at least can make a small boast early. If your knight gets nervous with public speaking, encourage them to practice their boast with you ahead of time.
Questing: With boasting, knights also announce their quests for the year at Whitsunday as well. With all the quests being declared a knight can get carried away and declare a quest which they aren't suited for and they'll have to deal with the embarrassment of a failed quest next year. Now's a good time to talk with your knight to identify a good, accomplishable quest for them in the coming year.
Whatever your knight decides to do for Whitsunday, having their liege take an interest goes a long way to ensuring they have a good time.
