The season of autumn draws to a close and the colder weather, biting winds, and even snow in most parts of Kyvalore have begun to settle in. Some Kyvalorians use this time of year to focus on themselves and their family, in a way using the warmth of heart and home to fight off the chill of the season.

It's officially December, and with that another month of exciting news and updates.

With the holiday season upon us, it's time for a mini event! For the month of December, all the way until January 15^th you'll be able to redeem all quests for either shards or winter essence! Please make sure you let us know which one you are redeeming for in your entry!
A traveling caravan will be arriving to the shopping district on December 10^th that only trades in winter essence. So you have time to start saving up before the caravan arrives. I heard they will be trading winter essence for some interesting goods that arent found any other time of the year.
I wonder if thats how you can get all of the winter traits that are up on the encyclopedia now...

Check Out These Traits!

Another important note is it's the first day of the December Adopt Advent! We've got some wonderful guest artists joining us for the advent and I'm so excited to share all the wonderful designs they've been working on.

For day one however is a raffle! This raffle will close at the end of December and the winner will be drawn in the New Year!

Enchanting Hearth Voxibell

This voxibell is wise beyond his years and is already a fully trained Fire Mage!

There are several ways to enter the raffle and each entry gets you 1 Raffle Ticket!

This isn't all for the winter festivities either. It seems whomever arrives on that caravan might also be stirring up something else on the 10^th... Guess we'll just have to wait and see.


A few other minor things to note unrelated to the winter festivities are:

The Design Update Token!

You can find this token for sale now in the General Store!
This is a token that lets you update the design of an existing character and change up its markings, colors, or patterns.
Please keep in mind this token is not for overhauling a character into another design as the design must still stay true to it's original feel. If you are unsure about a design update, just ask! :)


The Hallow Shop is now closed. Fang and Bone will return next year for more Autumn goodies. If you have remaining Hallow corn, you'll be able to spend it when the shop comes back around next Autumn.

It also seems the season of the moth avilli is over, and moth potions are done for the season! They will return next year in September for the autumn months!

Get ready to collect daily rewards, the advent calander is open now till the 25th!
