==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
After considerable effort, dedication, and ingenuity, the brave MouseHunters of Gnawnia were able to solve the Mythweaver's mystery and uncover his latest sinister plot!
+
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
 +
 
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

From his extensive research while studying at the Crystal Library long ago, the Mythweaver learned of an alternate, albeit more difficult, way to alter the history and culture of this world: the long lost Folklore Tales.

==== A Precarious Agreement ====
 
−
Most scholars believed that these fabled tomes had vanished from this plane of existence long ago. But the Mythweaver is nothing if not resourceful, so he made the pilgrimage to the Acolyte Realm to convene with an entity that was also not of this plane of existence.
 
  
−
After striking a deal, the details of which are unknown, this entity was able to manifest a copy of one of the lost Folklore Tales for the Mythweaver. The book was a very old and very important story in Gnawnian culture: the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk.
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 110%"><div style="font-size: 125%">Festive Spirit '''will not double''' the following items dropped by mice:</div>
  
−
==== A Narrow Escape ====
+
'''Golem Parts'''
−
Sensing that the MouseHunters were closing in on him, the Mythweaver quickly wrote his concept directly into the book so that even though his physical form was captured, it was already too late!
 
  
−
Now he is roaming free inside the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk where he is safe from any MouseHunters and undoubtedly wreaking untold havoc!
+
'''Magical Holiday Hat'''
  
−
==== Hope on the Horizon ====
+
'''Magical Holiday Scarf'''
−
Despite not stopping the Mythweaver in time, hunters were successful in retrieving the Tale of the Bountiful Beanstalk which is currently being studied by the King's top scholars.
 
  
−
The scholars are confident that very soon they will have learned the ability to write the concept of a MouseHunter directly into the story just as the Mythweaver did.
+
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>
  
−
Once this amazing feat has been accomplished, the MouseHunters of Gnawnia who have reached the rank of '''Viceroy or above''' will be able to travel into this story and put a stop to the Mythweaver in whatever new form that he has written for himself!
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====
 +
Each time you claim a golem reward, you'll progress a reward track to earn bonus rewards including two new pieces of Limited Edition hunting equipment.

Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.
