Harvest feast
The harvest feast is a celebration of the harvest held in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.[1] Because of the distances involved, the feasts are often used as pretext for meetings between lords and their vassals.[2]
When the maesters of the Citadel declare that autumn has arrived, wise men began storing a portion of their grain, although the recommended percentage is disputed.[2]
