From the introduction: This adventure occurs during one of Per-Bastet’s lesser known market festivals, the Day of Pigs, where farmers, landowners and many famous hog-breeders bring their precious pigs to market to trade. Some farmers will be lucky; their beautiful pigs will command fabulous prizes at the many souks that spring up this day. Fortunes are made for hogs of prowess, breeding, and, occasionally, intelligence. The festival ends at dusk when a mass slaughter and hog roast takes place in the Wharf District’s Grand Souk, an event known as the Night of Pigs. The residents of Per-Bastet go out of their way to dress in colourful pig masks, wear cunning pig costumes and garb, and oink their way through the day.
