Who: Anyone - open thread!
Where: Thedas (9_9)
When: The winter solstice, several different years
Summary: Ferelden has many holidays, all of which are associated with Andrasteism or the Old Gods - but then there is the natural phenomenon of the winter solstice. Whether someone views it as a chance to party or a night for quiet reflection, one way or another, everyone holds vigil on the Longest Night. (This is a group thread of a different stripe, and sort of bending the fourth wall, but if nothing else it will get your creative juices flowing again! Anyone wanting to contribute a short story to this collective tale, please feel free to do so. Where is your character, come the Longest Night?)
Rating: Should be PG for the most part.
