The winter solstice is one of the major festivals celebrated in Tamuran and Atriand - a time for spending time with friends and family, exchanging gifts, decorating with celestial themes, and lighting fancifully shaped lanterns to ward off the dark and the cold. I think Morgen and Effire could definitely use some good cheer right now...

Happy holidays to you, too, readers - whatever and however you celebrate, we hope the end of the year brings you rest, peace, good times, and whatever else you need most right now. We'll see you next week with some anniversary art, and then back to the story on January 6th!
