The Midnight Mask

Accessory Cosmetic Skin *

Marking a traditional seasonal milestone, the shortest day of the year surrenders to the longest night of the year. The Kaelar make the most of this annual occasion with evening-long revelry - from gatherings small to elaborate balls. The affluent hold lavish masquerades, featuring traditional masks made of finely-wrought silver and decorated with diamonds that twinkle like night’s starry blanket.

Starkin

Pet Cosmetic Skin *

The long winter nights are full of eager anticipation for the Vek of the north, for soon the Starkin will arrive, glistening like snowflakes at twilight. With downy fur aglow as if painted by the aurora itself, these whimsical flying fay creatures grace Verra with their peaceful and tender appearances. Though their manifestations are rare and fleeting, the affections they engender are warm-hearted and lasting.

Twilight Courser

Mount Cosmetic Skin *

A favorite tradition of the Vaelune during winter evenings is gathering together in gregarious groups for games, food, song, and sky-watching - in particular, for shooting stars. If a brilliant streak is spotted, the company quickly mounts their steeds and gallops off in the direction of the star in exuberant jubilation. The legend that states “if one finds where the star fell their fortunes are changed forever” is quoted humorously to the young and romantic, but the elder Vaelune do it for the pure joy of the kindred ride.

Festive Protector’s Garments

Costume Cosmetic Skin *

The Dünir cherish a long-held tradition during the darkest and bitterest months. Each winter, the clan matriarch’s husband (who is also the official clan protector) is lightheartedly ordered to visit the home of each of his clan’s children, bringing gifts and tales of yore. The occasion is valued as a time to acquaint the elder warrior with his delighted young charges, as well as a time for the next generation to learn the most time-honored duties. If ever a crotchety gruff heart set out on this duty, none ever came back, forever replaced with a softened soul and teary eyes.

Bergbreaker Barge

Naval Cosmetic Skin *

The appearance of this lumber-laden swamp hauler during the coldest days of winter is an occasion for celebration for the Ren’Kai. Its arrival to the boggy marshes from the timber regions far upriver guarantees that there will be warm hearths and lively cooking pits throughout the frosty days ahead. After festooning the barge in twinkling lanterns, Ren’Kai woodcutters encourage excited youth to jump aboard and ride atop the piles of logs as they float into port.

Revered Arboralis

Freehold Large House Building Cosmetic Skin *

Ever the naturalists, the Py’Rai dedicate time during the winter solstice to honoring and revering the life-supporting trees of their communities. Exquisite crystals are carefully hung with the help of arcane arts, decorating and beautifying branches, boughs, and limbs. At night the baubles and ornaments glow with a soft warming light, creating a sparkling celestial scene to mirror the wonders above.
