Advent calendar
Your calendar, and all its surprises, awaits you in the gigantic gift that appeared at the entrance of each capital (also in the Marauders Camp). It will remain present, for late arrivals, until December 31.
____
A shower of gifts
Gift packages are scattered all over the Bark. Rip them open to find out what's inside.
Event's location: All around Atys.
Game's rules:
The gift packages scattered on the Bark must be emptied once dead, ripped open. You will then find some slightly withered tokens or useful objects.
Withered tokens are not directly usable at the Wheel of Fortune. They must be exchanged with the attendant at the Wheel on Atysmas Island for choice tokens or Atysmas ones.
____
Atysmas Jigsaw Puzzles
A snowman has cut one large picture into 60 fragments and keeps them on him. During the time of Atysmas, he visits each of the tribes of Atys in turn, Prime Roots included.
Go looking for him to collect a fragment and try to rebuild the images!
Event's location: All around Atys, Prime Roots included.
Game's rules:
Click on the snowman that randomly pops into a tribe every 30 minutes to win a picture fragment. The fragments you win appear in a special window, gradually completing the puzzles.
The snowman remains in game for 20 minutes and reappears (with a random picture fragment) every 30 minutes. You can find out if a snowman is in game by consulting the small window of the “Dynamic Events”.
Reward: Atysmas tokens for each snowman found, choice tokens for each new picture fragment discovered and excellent tokens for each puzzle completed.
____
Yubohoho
Spirits of Atysmas are trapped in snowmen, all aroud Atys. Free them so that they can join the Grand Atysmas Faerie and bring forth the most beautiful of yubos: Yubohoho!
Event's location: All around Atys except Prime Roots then the Matis Arena.
Game's rules:
Four collectors, one per nation, appeared in the Matis Arena. Fill each of them with 100 Spirits of Atysmas, prisoners of snowmen scattered on Atys. You can see the status of each of the collectors by clicking on them.
When all four collectors are full, gather all in the Matis Arena to talk to the Grand Atysmas Faerie and try to collect the gifts.
Get rid of unstable gifts and then of the massive gift. Then you will see the most beautiful of yubos appear: Yubohoho.
Once it is at your feet, do not delay too long to come and quarter it or the fairies will quickly carry it away to resurrect it.
Reward: Supreme yubo materials of 270 quality.

Rudolf
Rudolf loves strokes. If you happen to come across him, don't hesitate. He will reward you… perhaps!
Event's location: Around capital cities.

Reward: A title, Atysmas tokens, an item for your home to adorn.

Gift Workshop
Create Gifts for your friends. It's up to them to be clever and find them!
Game's rules:

Fill your Gift with the items from your bag that were made visible in the first step.

Atysmas storytelling assembly
