I believe this stems from All Saints Eve, combined with fall solstice celebrations, so that Halloween has become a mixture of pagan and Christian tradition like Christmas and Easter. No matter how hard religion tries to stamp our pagan roots out, it never seems to work. I love paganism because it is so close to the natural world.
Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
