Wintercrest is a celebration of the turning point of winter, set at the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.
About
Wintercrest traces its origins to the early PR era, when seasons lasted 4 years a piece. The midway point of winter, and the turning point in the darker, colder season. Traditional events include: bonfires, snow fights, and an exchanges of winter crafts between friends and families.
It originated in the areas near what would become Woodhurst, and is a relatively minor celebration, especially in the areas that did not see regular snowfall during the winters.
Historic Events
In the winter of 199 PR, there was a small riot during the Wintercrest celebrations in Woodhurst. Disgruntled dockworkers tried to protest the celebrations because the snowfall that year was cause3d by magic and also led to the coastline icing over for multiple weeks.
