Please update with highlights from your coin spinning spree.
I don't have the list of what I got, but... Got 1 more wondercrystal, and the only thing I really kept was a mucklemarsh crown to add to my mastercrown, and a dagger of reincarnation... After selling the crystals and trading in all the stuff I didn't need/want, I got uh ... 420 credits from the crystals, 1800 goop, 100 credits from spins and 699 credits from trading in things. Most expensive thing I got would have been the manse item that upgrades a room to an enchanting room.
I've only seen one vision from it so far, but I already love this year's solstice artifact for Serenwilde.
Amazing beautiful stunning avatar by Gurashi! ~ A gentle breeze ruffles your wings and whispers in your ears, as if for you alone, "Dragonfly's words shine... seeds, sown and tended, inspire... a forest harvest." ~ Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."
"You quickly unwrap a crystal anniversary present, which sprays
glittering silver dust and cheerful confetti into the air, and grin
enormously upon receiving a russet-banded pin."
Ironbeard is telling Shulamit to make even more things for the Liar/Priest to become closer to them, I'm pretty sure.
Bookbinder by trade! Designer of most other things.
Thank you everyone who stopped by the first day of Glomdoring's Solstice Festival last night! We had at least 34 unique visitors (but even more, that's just counting the gift baskets I gave out)! That's amazing!! I'm gonna need more baskets...
Hope to see you all there tonight for the storytelling contest, song contest, and play !!

Thank you all in Glomdoring for letting Lief and Elexia come play and be terrorized at the Solstice Festival!

*Thank you to whoever triggered the timequake 45 minutes early so it didn't interfere with our Festival *Thank you to all the Divine/NPCs that came to tonight's even! That was so much fun! (Liar, I love you!) *Thank you to all the participants who signed up for both contests! The storytelling and song contests were a huge success! *Thank you to the smaller group that stuck around to watch Xenthos's hard work in a super great play! *Thank you to all the people who just...attended in general! Wowee!!
I'm looking forward to a much tamer event tomorrow. Maybe. Hopefully. Thanks again for everything

Where is my head: thank you Ironbeard and sentient thornbeasts, your presence was, once again, a present!!

You put a glittering power jewel into the Pool of Stars.
A coruscating fountain of deep blue power shoots up and out of the Pool of Stars, filling the air with droplets of pristine water.
A glittering power jewel sinks into the waters of the Pool of Stars, disappearing amongst the sparkling motes of light.
Raves for completing the Asylum quest! That math puzzle took me a little bit to understand, but it was fun once I understood it.

I expected nothing much out of this solstice swap- I don't really need much of anything that I cannot get for myself. And then I received @Valonah 's gift. It is an incredibly heart-felt letter referencing things from ages long past, and I am truly grateful for the effort and thought she put into this (amongst the other thoughtful inclusions).
Magnagora got their solstice calendars. Unfortunately I couldn't log it, but I had entirely too much fun making unreasonable suggestions to the constables and threatening rats.
The perspective of our calendars is a really nice touch.
@Viravain and @Aonia, beyond just being awesome in general, are also my saviors when I grossly misjudged my ability to handle a certain project.
Also all the Glomdoring players. I think we've had a pretty awesome year. And special double rave for those Glom people that put all the work into those awesome Solstice events! And @Rancoura for being a way-more-patient-than-I-deserve OH.
And @Maylea and her order, even though she's been bullying me and I'm totally blameless in all this. It does give me the chance to dream up new ways of emotionally torturing people! #MayleaStartedIt

@Serenwilde You heard it here, join the order if you want to bully and also put your character through every level of heck imaginable!
Before you picked up Nocht, a lot of us on Team Maylea were talking OOC about how much we wanted more conflict between these two gods. You guys made our year by throwing us this story! It's been a delight shaping my character against such complicated and nuanced villains as Nocht and his order.
(It doesn't hurt that @Viravain is also masterful at her craft, either. I love all her nuanced word twisting and manipulations and how they complicate things!)

[edit] Also oh my god huge rave to everyone who signed up for Secret Solstice! So far all the gifts have been incredibly thoughtful and personalized and the receivers have all seemed really pleased and/or touched so far. You lot are amazing.

Excuse you. I think Maylea and Nocht will come to a mutually beneficial compromise and hug and make up and finally paint the blackthorn together. Totally.

... Does Lief mean the Ravenwood? Not really aware of any blackthorn trees of particular significance.
Also the blackthorn is one of Blacktalon's three sapling types I think!
Serenwilde has thickets of blackthorn too if you look at room titles and descriptions.

Happy holidays, Lusternia family! I rave today about my amazing fellow admin (they're seriously the most talented people on this planet, and we're so lucky to have them), our incredible trio of producers who've kept Estarra's vision alive (and flourishing!), and the fantastic players who make my journeys back to the game well worth it.
And to all who may not be enjoying themselves in the real world this holiday season: do as I do and lean in to this beautiful game during those brief moments when you can break away. It has kept me whole and happy since its proverbial doors opened, and I'm certain it can do the same for you. Be strong, and remember: you're worth it, exactly as you are.
I missed the fun due to IRL stuff but this was a pleasant surprise from my Momma V:
The intoxicating scent of roses lays claim to your mind as the wreath around your brow constricts with life, its thorns pressing into your flesh. Low and deep, Her voice crawls like spiders across your mind, "My Spider, crawling in My Web -- may your path be lined with roses and bloody thorns this Solstice."

I did need gold, after all the goop I've bought from people!
