Wodgiss Night was a well-known Woodtroll celebration. The feast was supposed to raise the spirits and bring communities together in the harsh midwinter. A large parade was held, and many woodtroll delicacies, including tilder sausage soup, hammelhorn steak, glazed hammelhorn legs, tripweed, and the special Wodgiss Sausages, Wodge-Ale and spiced scones were served. Blazing fires were lit, everything was decorated with tiny lanterns and painted Sumpwood globes would hover in the warm air. According to Welma Thornwood there was a "queen" of the Wodgiss Parade.
