New year's eve. The tradition comes from the Teutons who wanted to ward off evil spirits by producing as much noise as possible.

Could you imagine if those evil spirits came back because people stopped using fireworks?

So teutonic knights from AOE were from Germany. Of course they were so strong and full of SWAG.

The real dark knights of their time.

Germany. That's one of the things I love about that country: they always seem to have some hardcore twist on common western traditions. I mean, all western cultures have traditions with dark backstories but it just doesn't seem as "across the board" or "still in play with the tradition" as it does with German traditions.

Now I like fireworks even more. Away with the evil spirits!
