It is difficult to pin point the beginning of the Season of Übermas, the most illegitimate of holidays. Villains are a greedy lot, sponging up every blood soaked day we can get, some crying Übermas as early as Halloween.
For The Overlord, Übermas begins with the Feast of the Dark Lord of Krelm. The legend and traditions vary slightly from region to region, but the standards hold true:
Selecting a decorative bloody stake for the lair, symbolizing the post-feast genocide of the indigenous peoples of Krelmordian. According to the legend, Krelm and his minions only broke bread with the heathens once, because they couldn’t stand the smell. The land was once littered with these large, sharp pillars of wood, cleaning up the remainder of those gentle peoples after a particularly violent outbreak of syphilis.
The infamous list of demands to the great Dark God. If you’re a lucky Villain, Krelm himself may pay you a visit on Übermas Eve. Nine times out of ten the answer is simply “NO.”, but a visit from the most infamous is an honer in and of itself. You should, however, make your demands with care. The last time a demand was granted an ambitious young Villain had asked for the gift of infinite persuasion, and Lord Malignance was born. He hasn’t stopped talking since.
There is of course the parade of ten thousand minions Krelm Feast morning. The feast itself has come to include Turkey in modern times, which symbolizes the Harpy slain by Krelm’s party so long ago. Harpy meat is strictly black market now, and a pretty penny to be sure.
A great and sinister feast to all of you. Stuff your faces, annoy your next of kin, and drink yourselves into a stupor. Finally, Übermas is here!
