Snow is not a commodity which graces the humid world of Aurum in large swathes; most of the landscape is covered in rich verdant jungles, and sprawling oceans, yet cast between the rising trees vast mountain ranges sit against the sky, their white capped peaks an oddity to behold.
It was among the smaller of these ranges that the ancient Order of the Je'daii had gathered, powdery snow crunching under boots, to celebrate the changing of the tide, the passing of the year. Compared to the warmth of their home, the air was considerably more frigid at their current elevation, and even as they stood around in quiet conversation snowflakes began to descend from the sky, coating everything in a fresh layer of pure white.
All around, merriment can be seen and heard, laughter rising from among their ranks, wide-eyed Padawans rosy-cheeked and tentative in their attempts at play with the startlingly cold substance.
With no set agenda in mind, all are encouraged to relax and enjoy themselves. Food and drink flow freely, nearby cabins provide shelter for those who seek to stave off the chill of the winter air, and music lilts throughout the crowd.
All are welcome to attend these celebrations, where only packed balls of snow can be used as 'weapons', and a general message of peace is extended to all.
Objectives and (Optional) Writing Prompts:
- Eat, and be Merry! Enjoy the festivities, gather with faces both familiar and new, and have fun!
- Let the snowballs flow freely! Participate in (or instigate) a snowball fight! Form teams, or go it alone, in this epic fight for the ages!
- Wish someone a Merry Life Day, and spread a message of joy and contentment in these trying times.
- Battle with the elements... Find yourself slipping on ice, locked inside a snowed-in cabin, or generally fighting off the chill. Surely someone has hot cocoa to go around?
- Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman...
- Exchange gifts; giving is just as satisfying as receiving, if not more so, so spread that holiday cheer!
- Walk on Water! Or simply Ice Skate... That works too. Careful not to crack the ice, though.
- Cozy up by the fire with those you hold dear; after all - it's cold outside!
