Winter settles over Latakar as it always does. Fires burn brighter against the cold, lanterns glow longer in the streets, and familiar traditions return as Dawning’s Veil draws near. Beneath the celebrations, something stirs. Snow shifts where no wind blows. Gifts twitch beneath careful wrapping. Laughter echoes too loudly in places it should not. In the quiet between songs, winter watches.
Some visitors arrive wrapped in joy and reckless cheer. Goblins in red hats charge through snowdrifts, dragging torches and kegs in their wake. Yule orcs follow, singing and shouting as they turn village roads into roaring revels. Farfergris walks among them like a living bonfire, spreading warmth, chaos, and celebration that threatens to spill out of control. His presence lifts spirits, but leaves scorch marks where fires burn too long.
Others arrive without sound. Vadervald drifts across frozen ground without leaving a trace, feather quill in hand, weighing deeds with patient judgement. Snowfolk rise where winter’s sorrow grows heavy. Effigies stand where warmth lingered too long, and colossal shapes stir beneath packed drifts when restraint is broken. Even toys and gifts awaken under moonlight, their bright colors hiding teeth, claws, and hunger.

Winter Mischief explores the tension between celebration and consequence. Revelry brings warmth, but invites danger. Restraint brings stillness, but awakens old powers that do not forgive carelessness. Every choice leaves a mark on the season itself.
