Welcome to Donnelaith's Samhain celebration and ritual! This officially takes place on October 31 in character, and attendance is mandatory; failure to participate could negatively impact your character's rank in the pack, unless you are marked absent. Rounds will last 5 days, or until everyone has posted.
You can assume that Emaleth or Deirdre spoke to your character prior to this event about bringing a token to honor any ancestors your character wishes to. It's up to you how fully your character participates and believes in the events/effects of the ritual.
To learn more about Samhain, which is a holiday celebrated by real life pagan religions, you can take a look at this article, written by a minister of a pagan church.

It was fitting that they would celebrate Samhain near Lasher's grave, its fairy circle visible through the trees at Emaleth's back. She had gathered an altar— a blanket of fallen leaves, dark stones, the skull of a deer the pack had eaten long ago— delicately placed to the side, where others might come and offer their gifts and pray to their ancestral spirits. It was a cool night, with dusk coming swiftly, and Emaleth felt at ease. This was her element, the missing piece of herself; what she thought she had lost with her father's passing. She expected to be nervous, to lead these wolves that were yet strange to her in a sacred ritual, but the dark witch felt wild energies alive in the wind and a cool confidence.
She lifted her head, calling forth her sister's wolves; the new generation of Donnelaith. Not of blood, but perhaps of bonded souls and spirit. She bid they come with their gifts, and gather here with her, for there was magick to be worked and ghosts to speak to.
