Valgarins lead a harsh life, and free time is rare. All the more do Valgarins enjoy meeting up for free time activities whenever the circumstances allow for it. A common sport among Valgarins is pole fishing, in summer as well as in winter. Also hunts are enjoyed all throughout the year, and a merry hunting party never fails to bring sufficient booze along. In summer, picnics with family and friends are among the most popular free time activities. Often such picnics are in the evenings, just before sunset, and afterwards campfires are lit and songs and lighthearted conversation enjoyed. As long as it’s not too cold outside, the beer tent in town is a popular place to meet old and new acquaintances and have a good time chatting and drinking. In winter the various taverns and inns of the kingdom fill that role and attract many customers. Valgarin taverns are usually noisy places, filled with roaring laughter and the clashing of glass on glass and occasionally steel on steel, as tavern brawls are not at all uncommon among the hot-tempered Valgarins. A more peaceful winter entertainment are snowball fights, which not only children enjoy but are also popular among adolescent guys and girls who see this as an innocent game of tease and flirt. For women, obviously, shopping is a popular thing to do in one’s spare time, too, preferably with a friend or two who can help choose the latest fashion from the nearby Telrae.

The Summer games is the happiest and most social time of year, many look forward to this time to trade stories, and meet up with good friends from other clans. The market is another good place to catch up on news about your neighbors. Conversations vary from stories of a great hunt, or battle, to the mundane about how well the little ones are doing. The women gather and chatter about the men and how they never seem to grow up, and the men gather to out tell tales of honor, and battle, and try to figure out the women who seem to never make any sense.
