The holidays are upon us! While [[Alharth]] doesn't celebrate Christmas, it does celebrate Ri-Shin Day, and New Years' Day. Townsfolk who are your '''{{favor|Friends}}''' will offer you gifts when you speak with them. (Make sure to have your favorite combat skills active in case they give you a piece of randomly-generated gear!)
There's also a Ri-Shin festival waiting to happen in each city and township in the land, but they will need your help getting their trees assembled. Look for townsfolk in festive red Ri-Shin hats to get started.
This year, there's also a new way for the community to work together. This is an experiment -- we've never tried anything like this before. You'll receive an introductory quest for this part of the event after you've assembled a few Ri-Shin trees. (If you're a Druid, you'll be briefed immediately upon login.)}}
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. The holiday season lasts from the start of [[Ri-Shin]] through the New Year's celebration.
== Shrine of Ri-Shin ==
The '''Shrine of Ri-Shin''' is an anchor of the god of plants and trees. Maintained primarily by [[Snowleaf]] and the Druids of [[Alharth]], the shrine offers rewards to those who seek the bounty of [[Ri-Shin]].
== Tree Decorating ==
Ten undecorated Ri-Shin trees can be discovered across [[Alharth]], usually in areas populated by friendly NPCs. An NPC near each tree, usually wearing a red Ri-Shin hat, will automatically give out a quest associated with the decorating of their tree. Adventurers must continue to speak to the NPC, accepting additional quests from their '''Do Favor''' menu to actually complete the tree.
Once a tree is fully decorated, a present will appear under it. For the rest of the event, a new present will appear under each completed tree. The respawn time for a present is sixteen hours.
