As it ever occurs, the holidays of the Hidden Lord were overlooked here... which seems to go far in indicating His power and puissance at, remaining Hidden.
I give you:
The church of Gargauth celebrates two holy days.
The Unveiling, which occurs each Midwinter night (Hammer 30 - Alturiak 1).
(The Unveiling is celebrated with a horrific ceremony, believed to involve many gruesome sacrifices, heralding the imminent time when Gargauth shall seize Faerûn as his unholy kingdom and transport it to Baator to form the Tenth Pit of Hell.)
The Binding, which is celebrated on the eve of the Feast of the Moon (Uktar 29).
(The Binding is celebrated with a personal ritual in which each cleric renews his eternal contract with Gargauth, trading absolute fealty for increased power. This unholy ritual is believed to involve personal sacrifices of money, magic, and hoarded knowledge and the casting of many horrific spells.)
