View source for Ember

Ember has thirty-two days, and is a month of the [[Discworld calendar|Discword year]] roughly analagous to our November. It is preceded by [[Sektober]] and suceeded by December. {{TCDA}} notes it is the month known as the Preacher, as it can be cold, dull and wet. Potatoes may be harvested with due thanks to [[Epidity]], but in the main this is a fallow month of clearing and cleansing. apparently it is a very good month for harvesting nuts and edible fungi. But beware the [[gripenut]] and the fact that the deathcap may only be distinguished from the Horse Truffle only by close examination of the gollets, which, as you would expect, turn purple if pressed with the back of a [[Silver|silver]] spoon. Whilst all mushrooms are edible, the trick is to eat only those which will prove to be edible ''more than once''. {{TCDA}} reccomends you play safe and eat beans on toast. The [[Flying Moose]] and the [[Pitcher]] (or some might say The Bucket) are the signs dominating the heavens and are good for hunters. During Ember, the festival of [[Kindling Day]] is held in the town of [[Fratchwood]].
