[Nemesis]

x x Ravok Winter . . Calendar For the first time in a number of seasons, citizens and visitors alike have the chance to be free of the tyranny of the "Monster" that lurks in Lake Ravok's deep waters. On the 6th day of the season, a group of Ivyess Dhani come together with citizens in order to rid the city of the threat of the fish. Desite any success they might have, catches of fish remain as sparse as they had been in the Summer and Fall seasons (as the waters need time to replenish what was lost) and the price of food remains high to reflect the struggle that Ravok is experiencing. Hunters continue to leave the city for longer periods of time in the hopes of returning with more fruitful bounties, in order to meet the new, higher demand for meat. Crops of cattails and lily pads are also high, and extra workers are called in to work the fields. Many of these new workers are the fishermen that have found themselves out of work. Because of the extra workers, expenses remain at 10% higher than what was once normal. Winter Events 2nd - 'Terror in Stormhold? ': News of a powerful magic attack striking Syliras reaches Ravok.

Seasonal Challenges Seasonal Challenges, are, to be quite simple, prompts for threads! If you complete all twelve challenges, you win something! If you finish all challenges for four seasons in a row, the reward is even bigger. Now... you simply have to enact these in threads, be it as obvious or subtle as you like. They do not have to be posted in the month listed, as that is simply a form of organization. The threads themselves don't even need to be finished, but the challenge needs to be completed before the end of the season. Feel free to find loopholes in different challenges. For example, take 'Draw Something'. You could simply take out a quill on parchment, and draw a random picture. You might 'draw' it in your head. You could even sketch out the word 'something', if you're feeling particularly creative. Have fun with these! December Go for a swim in Lake Ravok! Buy a fish!
