HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! We got some wonderful wintery holiday plots for youuuu! :D
FIRST!
On December 13th, Eerie Harbor has a sharp drop in temperature into the 30s during the day. In the evening on December 14th, it will snow! The city does not normally get much snow, so this is cause for a bit of excited buzz around town. They will get slightly less than a foot of snow over the course of the week, building up over a few days before the weather warms up again just enough for the snow to melt. We hope everyone enjoys the weather!
SECOND!
While Eerie Harbor is a city of diverse cultures with a variety of beliefs, they take special pride in their Festival of Lights, a celebration which takes place on the weekend of the winter solstice, December 18th - 21st. During this festival, Old Town is closed to vehicles to make room for the celebrations. The city streets are filled with beautiful light displays, music, laughter, food, and dancing all night long. Vendors will sell wintery sweets and street food, and musicians play on every corner, and the roads are set up with booths for games, entertainment, dancing, and ice rinks. On the night of the solstice, they hold the Lighting Ceremony. People will write a wish down on a slip of paper, which is hung from a small, magical sky lantern. All other lights go out, and at midnight, all the lanterns are released into the sky at once, taking each person's wish out into the world.*
This year, something a little different happens. The morning after the Lighting Ceremony, many people's wishes seem to be coming true...
Welcome to our first Wish Plot here at The Wild Hunt! While we want to make sure everyone has some fun here, we also have to place a few ground rules to ensure nothing game-breaky happens because of this plot. So please read the following guidelines carefully!
~Characters will not know in advance that their wish may literally be granted. The ceremony has traditionally been symbolic only!
~Each character that places a wish may have only one granted.
~Your character is not required to make or receive a wish. If you want them to make a wish that doesn't come true, that's fine! If you want them to skip the ceremony, that's fine too!
~Your wish must be okayed by the mods. In the comments below, please post a comment with up to three potential wishes for your character. Please put an asterisk next to your top choice.
~If your character would make a wish for something that you prefer NOT to be granted, you may also let us know here!
~Wishes that automatically cannot and will not be granted include the following:
-They cannot wish to go home OR for a person to come to this world
-They cannot wish for any effects on the portals/rips
-They cannot wish for someone to die OR to come back from the dead.
-They cannot wish for anything that affects another person's choices/body/emotions/etc.
-They cannot wish for more wishes.
Any and all other wishes will be considered but are still subject to mod approval and set parameters, just to ensure fair gameplay for all! We hope you have fun with the plot, and look forward to seeing what your characters wish for!

*For concerned parties, never fear - these magical lanterns are specially enchanted so that they cannot pollute or harm wildlife or the envrionment. They will disappear as the candle burns out and any remnants are recovered by mages!
