====A Strange Discovery... Toy Stockpiles====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
Strange reports are pouring in from across the Kingdom from hunters discovering hidden stockpiles of pre-assembled toys. These toys, although made of wood, cogs and metal, are slightly different than those being built by hunters.
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
The slight modifications, and the fact that the toys were so carefully hidden suggest they were assembled for sinister purposes. Could a mouse be secretly assembling toys? What possible motive could the enemy have for constructing toys and hiding them across the Kingdom?
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
While hunting with Festive Feta, you may come across a Toy Stockpile. When you do, you'll see it as a loot drop in your journal. These stockpiles will not be added to your inventory, and instead be immediately sent to the King to contribute toward the community toy drive goal.

The effort that hunters are pouring into the community toy drive has warmed the hearts of popular characters from around the Kingdom! So much so that Calamity Carl, Larry, and a secret admirer have all pledged to give each hunter a special gift after reaching each toy drive goal.

Calamity Carl's favourite type of toys are made of wood. He's pledged a... uniquely wrapped gift as a thank you for building so many wooden toys!

The final gift is from a secret admirer who enjoys toys made from metal. This mystery observer has long had their eye on the Kingdom of Gnawnia. Their gift is ornately wrapped, with an interesting decoration that causes the gift to float, much like an airship.

===Festive Comet Arrives: Calamity Carl's Toy Factory Obliterated===
 
''{{date|07|December|2011}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
  
What happens when a massive comet of holiday cheer traveling at 70 kilometres per second collides with a hastily built toy factory? A festive explosion causing snowy toy parts to be flung across the entire Kingdom!
+
==== The Treasure Map Mega Party has Started! ====
 +
A brand new mini-event has just begun in the Kingdom of Gnawnia: the '''Treasure Map Mega Party'''!
  
Poor Calamity Carl now has his factory buried under snow and all the toys he and his team so diligently built have been smashed into pieces and scattered across the Kingdom.
+
For the next '''two weeks''', Treasure Maps can now hold '''TWICE''' as many hunters, up to a maximum of '''10'''!
  
The King now needs your help to right Carl's plan and rebuild the lost toys! The mission will not be easy, requiring special festive bait and traveling across the Kingdom, pushing the limits of your hunting expertise!
+
This applies to all Treasure Maps except Solo Maps and Wanted Posters.
  
====Finding Scattered Toy Parts====
+
So gather twice as many map mates and get the mega party started!
  
The impact of the comet caused toy parts to be spread across the Kingdom, where they quickly fell into the paws of mischievous festive mice. To make matters worse, the festive vermin have become wise to the hunters' tricks from previous years. No longer do they come near traps baited with sweet gingerbread or carefully seasoned gouda. But do not lose hope, for the secret to attracting Festive Mice lies at the comet itself -- Festive Feta Cheese!

 +
<div style="font-size: 125%">
 +
'''TWICE''' as many hunters per map, up to a maximum of '''10'''!
  
The King's cleanup crew has already discovered a large deposit of Festive Feta and is handing out rations inside hunters' daily Loyalty Chests. Additionally, if you find yourself needing some more, you can hunt at the Festive Comet and search for a few extra pieces. As an added bonus, the very first time you travel to the Festive Comet the King will give you 30 free pieces of Festive Feta.
+
Ends on '''Wednesday, November 27''' at 4:00PM ETC
 +
</div></div>
  
Once you've obtained some Festive Feta, it's time to hunt for mice carrying toy parts! Head anywhere across the entire Kingdom and use Festive Feta to lure winter mice out from their hiding spots. Try hunting in different locations, and you'll no doubt find different toy parts depending on where you choose to hunt.
+
If you're still on a map when the event ends, everyone currently on the map remains on it and can finish it! However, new hunters cannot be invited beyond the map's regular size.
  
Looking to further fine-tune festive mouse hunting? Winter Charms are made from small flecks of the Festive Comet itself, which is the only known means of attracting the rare Snowflake Mouse. Snowflake Mice drift across the Kingdom on the cool winter breeze, picking up various knick knacks and odd ends they find -- including recently displaced toy parts! If you find yourself with a surplus of Festive Feta, trade some in at the Festive Comet Charm Shoppe for Winter Charms before heading out in search of toy parts.

'''A new goal for the Relic Hunter Mouse'''
 +
</div>
 +
After ten seasons, the Relic Hunter Mouse has finally collected enough Ancient Relics from hunters that she can now begin her archaeological research into the true origin of mice in Gnawnia and why they came here.
  
You can see what toy parts you have collected by clicking the Build Toys button on your heads-up display. From there you can also browse the various toys, the parts required to make them, and build them with the press of a button!
+
She can still be found traveling around the Kingdom each day while she conducts her research but she will no longer steal Ancient Relics from hunters. Now when a Relic Hunter Mouse is caught, hunters can loot Ancient Relics from her, recovering some of what she had stolen over the years.

The Cartographer at the King's Arms has discovered a stash of Relic Hunter Scroll Cases and is now selling them to adventurous hunters for 10 Ancient Relics each.
  
To show your skill as a toy builder, the King will also award you with Toy Receipts for building toys. As you gain more experience in Toy Building and collect more receipts, you'll find new items at the Festive Shoppe available for purchase. The more difficult the toy you build, the more receipts you'll be rewarded.

====Gnawnian Toy Shoppe: Opening Soon!====
 
The Vacant Lot south of the castle is no stranger to visitors and festivities. The land is owned by the King and often rented to those looking to host celebrations or parties. For whatever reason, however, tenants tend to shy away from the area during late November, and despite the King dramatically lowering the cost of rent, no one has shown interest in renting the lot.
 
 
 
Just as the King had given up hope of finding a tenant, a particularly festive hunter named Calamity Carl came to Gnawnia asking to build a toy factory where he and his merry toy makers could produce toys for all the young hunters of Gnawnia. Delighted by the offer, the King gladly offered the lot free of charge to Calamity Carl, and almost overnight an amazing toy factory was built!
 
 
 
Despite having a reputation for not entirely thinking his plans through, Carl's mission to produce delightful toys is going extremely well! In only a few days Carl's team has already produced a massive number of festive toys. It seems his plan to bring a smile to the face of each young hunter will be a great success!
 
 
 
With Calamity Carl's plan to spread festive cheer, this upcoming Great Winter Hunt is sure to be the best ever! Wish Carl luck and knock on wood that his plan stays free of any minor setback!
