Hey folks! Merry Christmas Eve!
With today's reset, a new Whispering Winds post was found, explaining the end of the supposed Thanksgiving event:

Board : Whispering winds
Author : Yondung
Subject : Buya survives the Darkspawn Assault
Date : 12/24
It has been weeks since the Northern Buya region started being attacked by crow flocks. The shift in the northern winds continued to bring more and more crows to the south up to a point the farmers had no more resources left. With the dwindling interest of the common people in helping contain the crows, the wicked trees started spreading faster. And with the trees came more and more Darkspawns. Over the past weeks, they have grown into thousands and it finally reached a point that they marched down and started attacking Buya.

Worried about the safety of their kingdom, Queen Lasahn and Prince Daeso led a coordinated counterattack, calling together soldiers and friends of Buya for help. While many Darkspawns were being defeated, their monstrous strength also took many innocent lives. There were too many of them and they kept spawning regardless of many being slain.

It was only after a mysterious figure showed up to help that the tides turned in Buya's favor. Wearing a white cloak and a long hood, people could barely see the stranger's face, but his powerful assistance quickly caught people's attention as the Darkspawn seemed blind to his presence there. The hooded man calls himself 'Vensu' and claims he is a Mysticist and while most could not understand if he was a friend or foe, he provided essential help to contain the spread of the Darkspawn.

Guided by several people, he met with the Unmu Scout at Myungok where he learned that the source of the Darkspawns were the wicked trees and that the trees were growing from seed dropped by the crows. Vensu then realized that by getting rid of the crows he would create a chain reaction that would put an end to the Darkspawn threat. Vensu then pulled a mysterious object out of his pocket and with immensely powerful magic, he kept working until he finally got rid of the crows.

With the attack of the crows over, so was the threat of the Darkspawn. However, the winds from the north keep changing and a major snowstorm once more hit the kingdoms.

Will people survive another harsh winter?

The following is a guide for the Winter Wonderland/Nightmareland event quests that have been seen in previous years.

REMINDER: You CAN die to the creatures in Wonderland/Nightmareland so please be careful!

As you wander about Wonderland, you find a cave that leads to the Union Leader

(122,19) He doesn't seem to want to speak to you at first, but 'u'sing a Magical Snowflake

makes him more than eager to chat!

He requests your aid in bringing back 10 Snowmen who seem to have become unhappy; Luckily, they don't seem to ask for much before they happily return:

Gratitude during difficult times

Posted by: Maron -- 6:53 PM EST

Hey folks! Here is a better-late-than-never guide to the ongoing event quest that started Wednesday of last week.

Items required:
Animal cage (100) - 2,000 coins each
Axe (10) - 50 coins each
Bow (any type) - Spring bow is 1,000 coins
Burst quiver (10) - 5,000 coins each
Catching net - 1,000 coins

In order to earn the legend mark from this event quest, you must acquire three "gratitude" tokens from NPCs involved to show to Customs Guard in Northern Buya Customs (via northeast Buya Gathering).

1) Farmer's gratitude:
- Go to Careful Farmer in Northern Buya Farms to purchase Burst quiver and Farms talisman (in case you need to leave and return quickly).
- Then see Hopeful Farmer, click through his messages and offer him "help". He will instruct you to shoot down crows to procure Green squash for him. Deliver 50 by saying "Green squash" to earn his gratitude.
(Note: Crows move quickly, and their target box is always at the murder's bottom, so either move & shoot in anticipation, or have a mage/rogue cast sleep to make them easier to hit.)

2) Poulterer's gratitude:
(Note: Animal cages are purchased from Dokami in Master Kyun's Enclave of Merchant subpath area, and produce Caged turkeys, which cannot be dropped or exchanged. Catching net is purchased from Jihye in Spiritual Garden of Do subpath area, and can be given to another.)
- Go to Rich Farmer in Northern Buya Fields, click through his messages and offer him "help". Equip and swing your Catching net at Slate turkeys until they become caged. Deliver 100 by saying "Caged turkey" to earn the gratitude.
(Tips: Acorn thrown at Slate turkey will stun it for about 15 seconds. Poets can also cast Barrier to hold it in place. Warriors may cast Backstab & Flank, and Rogues Cunning/Skillup 2+ to catch multiple turkeys at once.)

3) Scout's gratitude:
- At the Passage between Northern Buya Fields and Farms, go northeast and visit Concerned Druid. He explains that the crows attacking Farms come from Myungok, the old stronghold of the Unmu people.
- Purchase Myungok talisman from Concerned Druid to travel there.
- Equip Axe and chop the Haunted or Wicked Trees in the area. Woodcutter skill affects the process.
WARNING: Woodcutting here has a chance to provoke a Bloodspawn or Darkspawn that will instantly kill you on contact. At a safe distance, however, they can be defeated with repeated Taunt or Zap spellcasts.
- Bring Ebony wood to Unmu Scout that wanders the central part of Myungok. Click through his messages and offer him "help". Deliver 80 by saying "Ebony wood" to earn his gratitude.

4) Buya gratitude and rewards
- Turning in the 3 gratitudes to Customs Guard (by selecting "Of course I will help") will earn you Buya gratitude token. Take this to Buya Chamberlain in Buya Palace Courtyard.
- You will have three options of which mark will appear on your legend, each with a confirmation prompt: "Shown kindness during difficult times" (blue), "Shown greed during difficult times" (black), or "Shown hostility during difficult times" (red). Regardless of your choice, the Chamberlain also gives you a level 60 subaccessory called Buya grace jewel.

Incidentally...
If you go north of Northern Buya Farms, you will find tunnels leading to a cave, and discover a "Mysterious Mountain" with a mystical talking Wise Owl that says the following:

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!
Seen something we haven't? Let a Nexus Atlas reporter know!
