Autumn's Eve is the last day of summer in the Tastigon Calendar. It is directly followed by Autumn's Day, the first day of autumn.

Tai-tastigon[]

In Tai-tastigon, Autumn's Eve isn't celebrated, with everyone preoccupied preparing for the Feast of Dead Gods, which happens that night.[2]

Kencyrath[]

It had been Autumn's Eve, five years ago. His father was in the keep's low hall, chanting the names of the dead to keep their memory alive as he did every year on this night. The only better immortality was to win one's way into a singer's song or a scrollsman's scroll.
Ganth's narration, Blood and Ivory: A Tapestry,
"Hearts of Woven Shadow"

Among the Kencyrath, Highborn celebrate Autumn's Eve with memorials, where they recite the names of their family's dead, in order to keep their memory alive within their house.[3]
