so the festival of souls is this 4 day long festival held in both nohr and hoshido. (i havent decided if its yearly or every 2 years but its not seldom) this is like a 4 day period where all forces stop fighting, and all people of all nations take a break from fighting to honor the dead. it came to be after the great war(the one from the painting in the beginning scene of fates) like xxxxx years ago where like a trillion people died and so they made this festival to honor/remember them. generally everyone lights 1 lantern for anyone that they cared about/knew that died and they can send it into the sky or hang them on lines or just leave them around it doesn’t matter lmao. (also this is my excuse to throw in a festival in the middle of a war LOL) 

so yes, it’s meant to be a celebration of life and peace where everyone can forget for a moment and just enjoy themselves. they keep the lanterns burning for all 4 days. this (in the rev storyline) occurs after xander and leo get there, but before they plummet into hell ie valla(I ACTUALLY HEADCANON A LOT MORE TIME BETWEEN WHEN XANDER GETS THERE AND WHEN THEY GO TO VALLA LIKE ITS NOT RIGHT AFTER) corrin has never been to one before, so shes confused and upset when everyone wants to take a break to go to it in a nearby town, because shes afraid that enemy forces could attack them. but for xxxxx years, xander explains, no one has ever attacked anyone during the festival of souls. it is very sacred and traditional. even people of valla honor the 4 day peace.

so maybe someday ill do a lil comic or story on this whole festival because subaki asks hana to be his date for the festival of souls  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
