To put it in perspective, those dancing ladies in the windmill village aren't just having a cheerful celebration - there's something way more sinister going on. They're called the celebrants and while they might seem peaceful at first dancing away with their festive outfits, you'll notice something's off when you spot their weapons made from actual human bones

The whole village has this really unsettling vibe with these massive windmills that don't quite look right, and if you look closer you'll find evidence of some pretty dark stuff. Those ladies are actually part of this horrible ritual where they hunt down and skin nobles - there's even a spirit nearby crying out begging not to be skinned which gives you an idea of what goes on here. Tip: they won't attack unless provoked but once they do they're surprisingly aggressive and attack in groups

What makes it extra creepy is how it all connects to the godskin apostles, especially since you'll find one of them at the top of the village. The whole place is basically dedicated to these ritual sacrifices, with the celebrants using special weapons like the rib-rake and sickle to do their grim work. Maybe interesting - if you check the western windmills, you'll find piles of corpses and rotted grain showing just how long this has been going on

The contrast between their never-ending dance party and the horror show around them is what makes this place so memorable. Its actually one of the most disturbing areas you'll come across, especially when you realize all those cheerful celebrations are just a front for something much darker
