Yule is observed in the Novantirna culture as one of several festivals. Because Odin is a popular god in the Novantir religions, the festival of Yule has been reinterpreted as a crusade against demons.

Although the Freyrgardian humans were afraid of going out at Yule out of fear that Odin’s Wild Hunt would kill them, the Novantirnas are not afraid. They openly celebrate and praise the Lord of Knowledge on those days by holding mock battles and bonfires: and in many of these mock battles, the poorest people sign up to earn a chunk of money from the authorities - whether their team wins or loses, they still get the cash prize for their livelihoods anyways.

Novantirna Yule is also like Halloween, as younger Novantirnas wear costumes of monsters and even host fashion contests. The winner is given a cash prize, and they and their contestants are praised as being “inspired by Odin”.
