DECEMBER INFORMATION POST
Hello everyone, it's time for the monthly information post again! To Christmas is around the corner once again, meaning nothing drastic is going to happen this month besides Christmas things! This post details the small events that will punctuate this month. Should you have any questions regarding this month's happenings, please feel free to post them here.
Christmas in Crystallis || December 01st
Long ago, back when the Calamity from the Skies had descended upon Crystallis to destroy this world, most of the Ancients perished. Few adults survived and by the time the Heroes of Light appeared to fight the calamity, a lot of the surviving children had lost everything. One of the Heroes refused to fight, and instead decided to take care of the children. He wanted to help them forget about the events that had transpired-- To make them happy, even if for only a short amount of time. According to the legend, the name of this man was "Santa Claus."
This Hero of Light didn't have the power to accomplish this on his own. Yet, he said this didn't matter, he said that all that was needed was a bit of kindness and 'christmas spirit,' and so he asked the Moogles for help. Following the betrayal of their king and his death, the Moogles were left ravaged, leaderless and on the brink of despair. They replied to Santa's request for help, and after some convincing, they did as he asked. On the night from the 24th to the 25th of December, the Moogles brought presents to all the children. The presents weren't much, but they were enough to bring a smile to their faces.
The Moogles enjoyed doing this so much, that most of them decided to keep taking on request and delivering the things people needed. And this is how Mognet came to be. The Primal Moogle on the Continent of Ruins speak of the same legend, but with a difference: they didn't bring the presents, but they made them, which lead to the creation of Mogshop.
Or so do the legends says anyway. Is this true? No one knows. The only certainty is that on every December, the inhabitants of Crystallis celebrate what happened then and call it the "Starlight Celebration," though some regions keep calling it differently-- Christmas in Flence, Balicea and Mysidia or Noël in Esdham as Santa called it. But the idea is the same: for people to celebrate together this beautiful event and offer gifts to each other on the 25th of December.
Starting on the 01st if December, the cities of Aqures Ixen, Balicea, Flence and Mysidia will be decorated as per Christmas tradition: christmas trees will be present, and so on. Trano Golsaucia is already decorated by then, Aerilon will have some decorations as well and while Esdham and Downapolis do celebrate, the cities will not have any decorations. Furthermore, as a reminder, Aqures Ixen and Trano Golsaucia are covered with snow.
The Village of Santa Claus || December 01st - December 24th
The Moogles of Aqures Ixen and Mysidia who met after last event have mysteriously disappeared... On the 01st of December, they'll reveal why: they have decided to celebrate the union of all of Crystallis by recreating the Village of Santa Claus on the Lost Continent! But unfortunately, things aren't going so well... Nobody writes letters to Santa Claus, nobody visits the village and the Moogles on their own just do not have enough time to make the Village into a splendid place in time for Christmas!
Thankfully, the Heroes of Light are there to help them! They will send a letter to ask the Heroes of Light for help-- The details of this event are written below!
Winter Activities || December 01st - 31st
The Starlight Celebration is a worldwide event celebrated everywhere: as such, more than any others, this month will have activities your characters can take part in.
Christmas Markets (Flence, Mysidia, Balicea)
Are you looking for gifts, decorations or souvenirs? Or maybe you just want to admire the beauty of illuminated markets past nightfall-- It is very beautiful after all and there are plenty of things to find, and sometimes for great prices. If so, those Christmas Markets are perfect for you! The market at Balicea offers better prices and while there is also a Christmas Market at Aerilon, there are no decorations and it is overall much less friendly compared to the other three.
Hiring Santa (Trano Golsaucia)
Have you dreamt of being Santa or Mrs Claus? Or even a Moogle-Elf? No? Well, that's your opportunity anyway! Just for the holiday season, Trano Golsaucia is hiring people willing to wear costumes of these characters and be kind to children. It's a well paid job, all in the Christmas, or rather Starlight spirit!
Visiting Santa (Trano Golsaucia)
Have you ever dreamt of meeting Santa? Yes? Then your dream may come true in Trano Golsaucia! Many Santas are working to listen to the children's wish list. Or maybe even to the grown-up's. Either way, this city is a dream for children, even more so at this time of the year.
Fighting Santa (Esdham)
It is said that Esdham does the Starlight Celebration wrong. This is probably true as it is custom for people fighting in the coliseum to do it with a Santa Claus costume. Seeing Santa Clauses fighting each other is a sight to behold at least once. Or maybe you can even get into one of the battles and don the Santa costume or Job for the ocasion.
Christmas Carols (Everywhere)
Christmas music is generally considered beautiful and unique, and the Starlight Celebration has tunes similar to what people familiar with Christmas may know. Such music can be heard in all the major cities for the entirety of the month.
Hypello Choir (Balicea)
There are people singing Christmas Carols in Balicea as well, but this city is quite unique in that the choir is composed of Hypellos and Tarutarus exclusively. Between the voice of most Tarutarus and the accent of Hypellos, no Starlight Celebration is complete without hearing this choir at least once.
Ice Skating (Trano Golsaucia, Aqures Ixen)
With very low temperature comes snow and ice. Outdoor ice skating can be practiced in Trano Golsaucia and Aqures Ixen as well, and for free! This is not exclusive to the Starlight Celebration, as Ice Skating will last up until January.
Christmas Play (Mysidia)
There are christmas plays everywhere, but Mysidias' are by far the best ones. The best Christmas Play is called "The True Story of Mrs. Claus" and relates the story about how Mrs Claus is actually the one who creates the Christmas Spirit.
The Starlight Celebration || December 24th - 25th
Late in the afternoon of the 24th and continuing into the evening, the festivities for the Starlight Celebration will begin. Banquets, Christmas dinners, choirs singing Christmas Carols and people disguised as Santa Claus-- It looks like Aqures Ixen is giving it its all on the 24th, but even more awaits for the 25th! And who knows, maybe Santa will have brought your character something? They say he doesn't exist, but... It is also traditional for people to spend the Starlight Celebration among friends and family, warm at home late in the evening. So after the celebrations of the 24th are done, it might be a good idea to go back home and spend time with friends.
If the Christmas Village is fully built by the 25th, there will also be a surprise for everyone. There will be no log posted, so feel free to make your own!
The New Year || December 31st
While the passing from a year to another isn't as big of an event as the Starlight Celebration, it is still celebrated with fireworks in all major cities. There are gatherings of people in Aqures Ixen and Trano Golsaucia in particular, if only to conclude what is one of the most celebrated week in the year, and wish to each other the best possible year to come.
The Enterprise will from Aqures Ixen and go all the way to Mysidia at midnight-- So New Year lasts even longer than normal thanks to the magic of timezones. There will be a Ball aboard the Enterprise and all characters are invited! There will be a log posted for the New Year Ball aboard the Enterprise, should your characters participate.
Chocobo Racing Invitational || Before December 15th
Levy McGarden and Bartz Klauser will hold a Chocobo Racing tournament in Aqures Ixen by the first half of December! Everyone is free to participate if they like, and aim for victory! The true goal of the race however is to try and draw out Gilgamesh, a NPC some characters met in August, in the past during the Genesis event. As Gilgamesh comes from another world and yet he isn't a Hero of Light, they are curious as to what this means and what information they could get!
Information regarding this and a log will be posted later this month!
THE CALAMITY IS CURRENTLY INACTIVE
Progression Rate: Null
— The Calamity stopped when the Heroes of Light traveled through time —
Locations in Danger:
- Imperial City of Hera
- Imperial Prison
- Nabila City
- Temple of Water
According to the Sage in Mysidia, the Calamity will start moving again in January.
The next quest of the Monster Arena isn't part of any event. There is an indefinite amount of time to complete it, but there will be no new quests until its completion. This quest has to be logged and at least three characters must participate into it.
Capture A Velociraptor
The old man in charge of the Monster Arena has heard there are plenty unique species of monsters on the new continent. He's also heard they're very powerful, so he'll only ask one monster at a time. This time, he wants a Raptor. He needs one, so if they attack in group, the characters should keep at least one alive. There is a bonus of 5 000 Gil for any Raptor brought back alive, but it's also tougher.
Reward: 10 000 Gil + Useless(?) key fragment the old man once found. It looks very ancient.
• All of December

To reach Aerilon, one has to rent a ship at Balicea and access the city by sea. A special airship is dedicated to going from Esdham to Aqures Ixen. All Imperial Territories are off-limits.

On the 01st of December, the Moogle will post on Mognet a letter to ask for help! The letter may not be posted OOCly, but the Moogles essentially request for the characters to help them make The Village of Santa Claus into a reality before December 25th! Doing so will grant the Heroes a reward and bring joy to all of Crystallis! Of course, they also have something to help the Heroes of Light. Within the letter will be a brand new Job, which will help the Heroes accomplish their quest:
All characters will receive the Job with a Three Months bonus! This unconventional Job will help them spread Christmas spirit. Namely, the Moogles have a list of request for the Heroes to accomplish:
> They need Heroes of Light to play the role of Santa Claus!
They'd need at least one who stops by the Village once in a while, and all the others spreading Christmas Spirit in Crystallis. Heroes of Light can work alternatively as the resident Santa Claus if they want.
> They need money!
They need 1 000 000 Gil by the 25th to be able to accomplish their goal. To get money, the Heroes of Light can either donate or get other people to donate. Generating tourism will also contribute toward reaching the 1 000 000 Gil goal.
> They need letters!
Nobody writes letters to Santa Claus and it is up to the Heroes of Light to spread the word and get people to send letters to the village.
> They need employees and tourists!
The Village is in a remote location and rather than visit them, everyone's going to Trano Golsaucia. They need the Heroes of Light to send them people from all over Crystallis!
If the Moogles get the help of fifteen Heroes of Light, 500 000 Gil, some tourists and new employees, the village will be halfway completed. If they get the help of thirty Heroes of Light, 1 000 000 Gil and a lot of tourists and new employees, they'll accomplish their goal! The reward will depend on how well the Heroes of Light do.
Please reply to the thread below to post what your contribution to the cause is! Handwaved contribution will only have half the effect, whereas logged contributions will contribute fully toward the effort. You are also free to offer your own ideas and open appropriate business in the Village of Santa Claus: it will count toward developing the village.
• New Locations
These is an entirely new continent of explore! Please look here for more information regarding the Continent of Ruins.
• The Enterprise
You can now request use of the Enterprise for specific reasons. Please look here for more details.

Doing so will grant the Heroes a reward and bring joy to all of Crystallis! Of course, they also have something to help the Heroes of Light. Within the letter will be a brand new Job, which will help the Heroes accomplish their quest:
 SANTA CLAUS A secret Job that was protected by the Primal Moogles in Mysidia. It is said that this Job contains the essence of the Santa Claus spoken of in legends and can turn modern Heroes of Light into the new Santa Clauses. With this, the legends of old can return to life! This Job is an oddity, with skills of varying usefulness. The costume comes complete with a very realistic fake beard and glasses. Strengths: An excellent Job for non-fighters. Santa Clauses are gifted with above average strength and resistance. They have excellent magical potential, but no skills to make advantage of it. Because all of its stats are positive, it works perfectly with any other Job. Weaknesses: In spite of having excellent stats, this Job has no skills to make use of them. Beyond that, the aesthetics of this Job are somewhat hazardous and can affect the character in unexpected ways. Sometimes, upon equipping the Job, the beard isn't a fake one and is instead real. Characters equipped with this Job may also magically gain weight over time to look more like Santa if they're unlucky. Skills: The "All-Knowing List" skill grants Santa Clauses access to a book where the name of their target is. If the target is on the Good List, Santa Clauses will heal them (more effective the higher they are on the good list). If the target is on the Naughty List, Santa Clauses will wound them (more effective the higher they are on the naughty list). The Toy Bag is basically a bottomless bag in which character can fit anything they want, so long as it can enter the bag and so long as it is not a sentient lifeform. Christmas Spirit automatically spread happiness in the atmosphere and inspires trust. It is a light form of mind control that can be practiced and improved by skilled Santa Clauses. Holy Advent not only doubles the effectiveness of this Job on December. It also improves it by 25% during October and 50% during November. On Christmas and Christmas Eve, it triples the Job's effectiveness. The Security Elf comes with a weapon that best define the character's personality: it may be a wand, a sword or even a machine gun. The security Elf will always defend Santa Clauses, take attacks for them and attack enemies. Finally, the Sleigh can be obtained for free in the Village of Santa Claus. However, the character needs at least four Chocobos to pull the sleigh. Up to eight Chocobos can be used, improving the sleigh's speed. With their final skill, Santa Clauses can make the gifts requested to them by others. If it's a regain from a homeworld, they'll have to go to the Village of Santa Claus to work on it for a week, and they can get such an item only once a month. If it's something nearly impossible to obtain, it may ask months for the Santa to get what is written on the letter. The exception is on Christmas: Santa Clauses can grant one request per character on that day. |
| Initial | All-Knowing List | Effects varies whether the target is on the good or naughty list. |
| One Month | The Toy Bag | Unlocks a magical bag in which virtually anything can be stored. |
| Two Months | Christmas Spirit | Inspires trust in others and spreads a joyful atmosphere around. |
| Three Months | Jingle Bell | Shrinks self to go through chimneys or otherwise tiny passages. |
| Four Months | Coal Lumps | Harmless attack that hurts the target's confidence, pride and motivation. |
| Six Months | Holy Advent | Doubles the effectiveness of this Job on December. |
| Nine Months | Security Elf | Summons a Tarutaru-sized security elf to protect the character. |

All characters will receive the Job with a Three Months bonus! This unconventional Job will help them spread Christmas spirit. Namely, the Moogles have a list of request for the Heroes to accomplish:
> They need Heroes of Light to play the role of Santa Claus!
They'd need at least one who stops by the Village once in a while, and all the others spreading Christmas Spirit in Crystallis. Heroes of Light can work alternatively as the resident Santa Claus if they want.
> They need money!
They need 1 000 000 Gil by the 25th to be able to accomplish their goal. To get money, the Heroes of Light can either donate or get other people to donate. Generating tourism will also contribute toward reaching the 1 000 000 Gil goal.
> They need letters!
Nobody writes letters to Santa Claus and it is up to the Heroes of Light to spread the word and get people to send letters to the village.
> They need employees and tourists!
The Village is in a remote location and rather than visit them, everyone's going to Trano Golsaucia. They need the Heroes of Light to send them people from all over Crystallis!
If the Moogles get the help of fifteen Heroes of Light, 500 000 Gil, some tourists and new employees, the village will be halfway completed. If they get the help of thirty Heroes of Light, 1 000 000 Gil and a lot of tourists and new employees, they'll accomplish their goal! The reward will depend on how well the Heroes of Light do.
Please reply to the thread below to post what your contribution to the cause is! Handwaved contribution will only have half the effect, whereas logged contributions will contribute fully toward the effort. You are also free to offer your own ideas and open appropriate business in the Village of Santa Claus: it will count toward developing the village.
