    Will we once again completely ignore the Halloween contest house winners? And pretend it never happened?? A simple acknowledgement would go a long.....


    Ps I love you and what you do and understand squarely where the blame for this belongs..

    Fenneko, This is Toriana of Legends. You toured my Halloween house in Trammel on Legends. If you get to go back, there is a teleporter at the entrance that will take you to the "roof" in the center of Reine.

    I would really love to enter my Christmas house for the Holiday House Tour. My house is called "Night After Christmas" and the home owner is Shadow. It is on Legends on a small island NW of Tokuno Homare-Jima at 115.02'N 79.31'W 
    I'm not sure how I could get a rune to you. What shard are you on?
    The following poem goes with the house. It was composed with assistance from ChatGPT, Damia and Martia.  

    ’Twas the night after Christmas, the sleigh finally still, 

    The stars shimmered softly o’er each snowy hill. 

    The elves were all snoring, the reindeer asleep, 

    And Santa was dreaming of oceans so deep. 


    The workshop was quiet, the stockings all bare, 

    The cookie crumbs vanished from tables and chairs. 

    Mrs. Claus whispered, “You’ve done quite enough— 

    Let’s find some warm sunshine and sand that’s not rough.”


    They traded their mittens for linen and ray-bans, 

    The sleigh for a schooner with seashell-trimmed plans. 

    With a laugh and a wink, he called, “Up and away! 

    To warmth and adventure beyond Tokuno Bay!” 


    From Malas he drifted to bright Skara Brae, 

    Where sailors and mages all shouted “Hooray!” 

    They toasted his rest with spiced rum and cheer,

     And promised to guard him till Christmas next year. 


    He lingered in Moonglow, where starlight was deep, 

    And magic itself seemed to cradle his sleep. 

    Then onward he drifted where dolphins held sway,

     Through seas made of silver near Magincia Quay. 


    He sailed past the dragons and cherry bloom air, 

    Past jade-tiled rooftops and lanterns so fair. 

    The ninjas and monks gave a bow as he passed, 

    Their whispers of wonder adrift on the mast. 


    At last he found shore on a soft tropic isle, 

    Where palm trees were swaying in holiday style. 

    He hung up his hat, let his reindeer run free 

    And settled himself ‘neath a tall shady tree.  


    He sighed with contentment, the work now all done, 

    The snow far behind him, the sea kissed by sun. 

    And if you look skyward some lazy spring day, 

    You might glimpse Saint Nick over Tokuno Bay.

    I have a house in trammel Britain next to the counselors hall just before castle blackthorn bridge. (Right above the big mage shop). You can drop your rune on legends at that house mailbox :)
