A greatly feared time of the month. The full moon is the time when the wild people of the wild lands are most likely to do violent raids on the communities of the regions. Dressed in war paint and frightening masks, young drunken/drugged wild men attack small farms, raping and killing. But many of their raids are more filled with stealing live stock, shooting out windows of sleeping houses, a general breaking and taking. At worse there are whole families killed, the women and sometimes the men too are savagely raped. The bodies mutilated. The wild youth love to make great elastic slings to rocket severed heads into the denser areas of town too heavily protected to risk and direct raid on.
The safer families have dogs that will bark a warning is the wild people fail to sneak up on the beasts and kill them before they get the chance.
