Strangerstide was a midwinter festival celebrated by the Lesser Time Elementals, similar yet distinct to Christmas on Earth. While Meta-Historians Alice Timony and Olivia Kagg Waldermein used the less conventional translation "Eldritch Night" for the celebration, Waldermein also noted that Alien's Fall was another translation.
