Frost Fall / Winter Festival 2016

[Miranda of Admin]

I'm delighted to announce that the winter festival will be held from Friday January 8th to Sunday January 17th 2016.

We're also changing the name of it as the tendency for people (a certain godlet) to abbreviate it to FF means the development pixies in Sunrifter keep getting it confused with Fall Festival. What are we changing it to? You tell us! Please suggest a new name for our winter festival (that does not abbreviate to FF) in this thread by the end of Sunday December 20th, and the winner will not only have the glory of naming it but may also receive a small prize. Exciting! You can suggest as many as you like.

I can't think of anything that hasn't already been suggested, so I'd like to put in a vote for "Fimbulwinter."

[Xanthias]

Long ago, in the Ages prior even to the Golden, the very first snows fell upon the lands of Trinald. The Residents of 'Rifter had seen that something was lacking in the lands, something preventing a true renewal of all that they had built. After all, where there is life and abundance, so too must follow death and scarcity.

The folks of the land were highly superstitious and not particularly knowledgeable. The only time they had seen anything like the small white stuff falling from the heavens had been during the explosions of mountains. Fire and death that would fall from the skies. They noticed, however, that what they were feeling now was not hot, though they dared not try to eat or drink the melting ash, for they still thought it dangerous. It was with this intent that they named the strange phenomenon. Coldash.

In time the people found they could do amazing and fun thing with this "Coldash". Build wonderful shapes, form small balls to throw at others, and even use it in place of water if they but melted it first. After a time they created turns of partying, joviality, and mirth as they found the Coldash fell with regular frequency during specific cycles.

So it came to pass that the observance of the Coldash Bash is still celebrated, even unto this day, in the lands of Trinald. Though perhaps it is not celebrated in the same way in all nations...

Edit: Could be abbreviated down to CAB or even just CB.
