Yuulatune is the grandest winter holiday in Ptitheros! A fascinating array of admiration for the snowy weather, the distant glow of foe lights placed along streetways, and the ever-so-delightful ending where hopes and desires are etched into paper and added to beautiful fabric shawls draped over fantamen who are released into the sky to carry those dreams with them.
A large celebration has been ordered. It appears the maniacial lead of Harvenluna has decided to take a Yuulatune party under his belt this year. Mainly to get back at those who irritated him not long ago. Of course, no lindost has skills handling a holiday meant to be cozy and kind, but it sure as Sage won't be boring.
The Glacial Abyss was chosen to be the perfect location. Its dangerous icy caverns altered heavily by magic and all its archeologists forcefully removed from their studies. What was once a research site not accessible to the public is now a massive, detailed "ice manor" with quaters for guests, giant gallas, and endless frozen corridors. Attendees are provided warm clothing and a powerful thermal rune to stay warm.
A place filled with so much prehistoric history, the Glacial Abyss is one of the largest archeological and fossil sites in the world. Many wonder what the ancestors of Ptithians looked like, long before the Cardinals adapted them to a civilized life.
Events & Activities
Exploring the Glacial Abyss
• Such an event would not be complete without something dangerous hiding within the darkness. Event handlers have closed off any deep entrances into the Glacial Abyss, leaving the many archeology camps abandoned until the party is over. However, warning tape and nailed boards over cavern holes cannot stop a daring explorer. Venture into the deeper crevasses of the icy abyss, far from the safety of the party. Discover why so many archeologists work here and perhaps find something prehistoric frozen in the walls.
Skywatchers' Lights
• On the last night of the event, the honorary lantern show is in full swing. Ptithains gather outside with their illuminated lanterns, the light attracts migrating fantamen, drawing them down in groups to the Ptithians. The paper lights are draped over the graceful animals, who then leave to light the starry night sky, bringing the dreams tied to the lights with them.
Atrium Party
• The atrium of the ice mansion may look chilled, but it magically kept warm (enough). Thick, fluffy blankets and cushions are everywhere. Seating is abundant, the bar is active, the chadalier is bright, and a large fireplace crackles, casting a warm glow against so much blue. Holiday music fills the room.
Shoppe Center
• A large columned corridor filled with little shops sewn into the icy walls. Anyone may set up a shop of their own.

"A place filled with so much prehistoric history, the Glacial Abyss is one of the largest archeological and fossil sites in the world. Many wonder what the ancestors of Ptithians looked like, long before the Cardinals adapted them to a civilized life." Architects have always taken inspiration from the evolution-filled world of nature. Sometimes evolution produces the creatures that Architects choose as their next kin. Lefikas and rubasyns were two of such circumstances. While the tree of life was magically split when the Cardinals turned wild creatures into sapient kin, the base inspiration used are slightly retained in the genes of the new kin species.
Lessifeals
Requires 2 Prime Fossils
An extinct draconic feline that was double the size of modern lefikás. Their fossils have been found in the Meldra Desert.
Lessifeals were large desert carnivores that hunted karkadanns. They were well-adapted to the arid, hot climate, evident by their fan-like ears and commonly had frills down their back and chest. Lessifeals were nomadic and intelligent for the time they lived in. They formed small packs and could create weapons and simple clothing from the remaining bones and hides from the giant karkadann corpses they had leftover from a hunt.
When Meldr’uno was looking for inspiration after getting rid of His eastern dragons, he saw potential in the lessifeals. Their population was turned into what is now the modern lefika, and their prehistoric genes can sometimes (very rarely) show up.
Rubus
Requires 2 Prime Fossils
An ancient north realm scavenger. Their fossils have been found in the Lowlands and Honeycomb Forest of North Maw Peninsula.
Rubus were carnivorous scavengers who ate what they could find. Very early on, they were the raccoons of Chaveri, often stealing trash and food from the citizens. They tore flesh and defended themselves with sharp latchclaws found on their wrists and heels.
When Edenlline was looking for inspiration for Her new kin, She saw potential in the rubus. Especially because they managed to constantly get into her palace and bother her disciples. Their population was turned into what is now the modern rubasyn, and their prehistoric genes can sometimes (very rarely) show up. A common ancient gene that shows up in rubasyns is the wrist latchclaw.
