Location

[Endrus Forest, Secluded Glade] A score of ancient sana'ati trees stand like primeval guardians around this circular clearing, stretching their weathered boughs overhead in a protective canopy of scintillating green. Lush grass and blooming flowers surround a pool of clear water, bubbling upwards from an unknown source beneath the surface. You also see a box of gifts bearing the crest of the Tavern Troupe Performing Order, some water, a Tavern Troupe refreshment cart with several things on it, an overgrown footpath and a stone bench.

Gift

Catering by the Ever Wonderful Allye

In a Katamba-black pouch beautifully embroidered with a wolf pattern in silver-colored thread you see: a cup of honeyed milk a frosted glass of Katamba's eclipse a flagon of honey-apple mead a tangy tart filled with mango pepper chutney a plate of Siksraja marinated venision medallions served with creamy seashell pasta a piping hot garlic-thyme roll a decadent lemon and gaisroka tart infused with vanilla liqueur an apple streusel cupcake with a candy wolf perched high on a mound of crunchy topping

Prizes

An orange mouse-shaped lollipop: Almarius

A portable rose gold stove with a fluted grate in the shape of a Rakash:

A svidaw sis (throwing club) made by the amazing Ena:

A knit cobalt cap adorned with fuzzy wolflike ears: Nawain, who gave it to Almarius
Delightfully soft yarn was used to knit the cold weather cap, designed to hug below the wearer's ears when worn. Strands of metallic thread are worked through the knit to give it glittering highlights, while two lupine-looking ears are playfully fashioned onto the top.

A cobalt silk duffel bag accented with a silver decoration:

A thin silver bracelet strung with black onyx and sapphire charms: Kethrai
Though thin, the dainty chain of the bracelet proves sturdy in holding the alternating black onyx and sapphire charms. Each of the vibrant blue gems has been carefully carved to show a variety of Rakash symbols that include a crow, butterfly, badger, an apple and a wolf captured in mid-howl.

Pre-Event

[Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest] The ground here is hard and unyielding, packed to rock-like consistency by ceaseless caravans and the boots of stalwart adventurers. Faint cracks trace the surface like webs from a demented spider, prompting a slight detour for an orderly column of black ants. Southwest, an overgrown footpath leads off the main road towards a grove of sana'ati trees. You also see a russet panther that is sitting and a flattened skunk in the middle of the road with some black ants on it. Also here: Lady of Frostbite Siendra who is camouflaged in a swirling fog of frigid arctic currents.
