Hello Dearest Adventurers!
As the nights chill and seem to last longer, I’ve sent my fellow crows to the far corners of the land to collect things most wonderful for a day of Revelry this Winter! The night may be long, but there will be much to get up to at this year’s celebration! Many activities including helping our darling mimic discover their name; I hear you all have been sending in names and the top choices will be made available for you to vote upon your arrival at the hall.
Once you have entered the warm hall on what I presume will be a chilly evening, you can warm up with a drink from the fantastic bar and some delicious masterfully crafted food. And if you love food, you simply must decorate a gingerbread person or perhaps try your hand at the dessert competition which I hear is Ugly Sweater Themed! The most over the top and gaudy, but still delicious dessert will win quite the prize. Time to break out the luster dust and sprinkles, I cannot wait to be captivated by each and every one of them!
If you don’t have a sweet tooth, that’s alright too, the Adventurer’s Guild will have harrowing quests up and running for you to take a whack at. Or maybe you like to gamble your shinnies at the casino or take on the best of the best at the Stacked Deck Tournament. For the bards among you, there will be some lovely caroling to get everyone into the spirit. And of course gifts for all from yours truly and a visit from Pater Yule for our younger adventurers.
For even more presents, you can participate in the Gift Swap, always a delightful time. And make sure to bring your green and gold so that you can shop at these fabulous vendors: Wulfemoon Studios, The Wandering Potato, Rowan's Rarities, Starry Knight Crafts, Nestra's Treasures and Treats, and Ethereal Hive Crafts AND participate in the incredible charity ticket auction to support House of Hope!
In addition to all of that, we will be on the look out for this year’s Lord/Lady/Magistrate of the Festival, someone who encompasses the season’s spirit in all that they do. More on that in my next missive. Thank you for letting me express all my excitement in this letter to you; I am thrilled to gather with you again this year and to have a delightful day of revelry!
Humbly Yours,
Cornix
