DECEMBER CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hey, fairybros! November has been an unexpectedly big month, and with hope, December will give us plenty of time to recuperate! Firstly, we'd like to apologize to the player base again about the application cap, and assure you that we're proceeding at speed to try and rectify the issues which have given rise to it!
On that note, please expect a Lesser NPC Application to be released later in the month with a formal announcement! Without going into too much detail, this will be an application by which players can access a newly-made NPCing account, so that they can play for their fellow players: villagers, enemy soldiers in battles, monsters in quests, and etc. The notification announcement will go into greater detail, but the application will be thorough, and use of the account will likely necessitate a small amount of record-keeping on the behalf of users, as well as recorded reviews by those who interact with it.
We got so slammed that the Quest Requests system was not opened for a second time last month: instead, expect it to be open again before the 5th is out! We will also be using this time to touch base with questing individuals from the last round, and to update relevant lists and rosters.
As a final heads up, pending some plot events, there may be some updates on the Calendar within the next 1 to 3 days, and the mod team will likely still be varying degrees of slow until after the New Year! Wishing you all the best and without more ado...

The White Hart Hunt GENRE: MAGICAL/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 01-14 December |
SUMMARY Time to hunt! An easy event for December. With the first sighting reported with the snow which came on the night before the first, handwaved proclamations are released to both courts bidding shardbearers to hunt the White Hart, the King of Beasts! Those who research the White Hart are likely to find that he is the brother of the Black Shuck, and allows himself to be caught and killed once a year in these winter months, only to return to the world the following year in an endless cycle of renewal. The White Hart is cunning and easily able to flee most pursuers, though if the hunter is a poor one he may teach them a lesson about pursuing dangerous quarry, creeping close when they're unaware to transform them into a woodland creature for 7 days. The mod team will allow one Seelie and one Unseelie shardbearer to slay the White Hart: nominate yourself, stating your character, court, and why you think your character deserves the win! The mod team will allow nominations for 24 hours before releasing a poll to the community at large.
This will be another event lacking a mod post, leaving players free to plan at their discretion.
Since this is not a mass event, players are encouraged to plan and plot among themselves, and set up their own logs as appropriate!

MONTHLY OVERVIEW
The next Calendar of Events post will go up to cover all of January. Weather for this month will be bursts of snows, growing deeper and longer toward the end of the month. Nights and early mornings will be the coldest yet in the year. Please feel free to use this as a plotting post. Finally, if you have any queries about the event, please direct them to the Questions thread and we'll get back to you ASAP, and feel free to use this post to plot together. Thank you!01st DECEMBER (01am IC) • EVENT START. The White Hart has been sighted, and shardbearers bid to hunt him!
03rd DECEMBER • DANGEROUS RUMOURS. Word penetrates the courts that Reynard the Fox has become the figurehead of a stirring anti-shardbearer movement among the natives! A few shardbearers out in the more populous cities may hear cries of 'Go home!' alongside the usual fearful and respectful obeisances. Images of a winking fox face on signs, buildings, and wild rock edifices will multiply throughout the month.
05th DECEMBER • QUEST REQUESTS OPEN!
10th DECEMBER (00:01am LONDON GMT) • The boon request post goes up on the OOC community. You will be asked to state your character's request and link to proof of having participated in the event. Mods will be around to approve or deny these.
12th DECEMBER • A NEW KING OF BIRDS. The Roc has defeated its challengers and become the new King of Birds! Those who speak the tongues of birds will swiftly be informed this, and be warned that winter will be full of storms grown by this wrathful king.
14th DECEMBER • EVENT CLOSES.
15th DECEMBER • Approved or altered, boons are ICLY received today when characters wake up.
16th DECEMBER (00:01am LONDON GMT) • Boon requests close!
19th DECEMBER • Winter Party at the Barrel: The Barrel will be hosting a winter holiday party beginning at sunset, in recognition of Yule. A bonfire will be had, in addition to food and chances for those in both courts to come together.
21st DECEMBER • YULE BEGINS. One of the eight festivals of the drabwurld, this one is celebrated by the burning of a giant log in the courtyard of each castle, an abundance of wassail, mead, and mulled wine, carols being sung by night. The theme is one of reflection on the past year, and in the castles, the longstanding tradition is for groups of friends and family to make and sing a carol featuring the highs and lows one has experienced.
01st JANUARY (00:01am LONDON GMT) NEW CALENDAR OF EVENTS.

HE MIGHT BE TOO MUCH OF A BORING LAWFUL GOOD FIGURE Y'KNOW
like her mumno subject
ahahaha yeahhhhh she's quite competitive and although she has some great Seelie CR I think in the end she'd be more interested in beating him than actually teaming up (I think the time she comes from is before Lancelot started showing up in the King Arthur tales so she'd just be like ??????? WHO'S THIS DOUCHE MUSCLING IN ON MY TERRITORY? instead of OMG HONORED TO MEET YOU)
