Winter Holiday

The Winter Holiday of Ri-Shin celebrates the victory of the god of plants and trees over Vol-Mu, a former god of winter. Although the holiday was popularized by humans on Alharth, most other races enthusiastically join the festive spirt of the season as well.

Lore

“

I love Ri-Shin time! The only childhood memories I don't hate are from when Aunt Herra let us set up the Ri-Shin tree. it's the most important human celebration, and I want Sona to experience it! So Bellema and me got a tree set up, and I'm teaching Sona all the ceremony and stuff... but we need more supplies, if you've got a minute to help out?
