Banehelm keeps the candles in their libraries lit all night and reads passages about their ancestors. Longwatch shoots flaming arrows to light bonfires. Halcyon townsfolk light a candle in their windows. Bogmore fills their rivers with boats carrying lanterns. Each kingdom has a different variation of the tradition. On this day, the people of Velnor traditionally honor their ancestors by guiding their spirits to the afterlife. Bakeries and confectionaries create elaborate creations. Towns all across the Highlands create sweet treats to keep their spirits up as winter comes to a close. These gifts could be a simple single rose, rose shaped jewelry, or bouquets larger than their lover’s head. When winter finally releases it’s icy grip on the land, lovers have traditionally given each other roses and rose themed presents to show their affection to each other. To set the stage, I’ve asked our Content Director, Toby, to give a brief introduction of the festivities ahead. Here are two upcoming holidays that you’ll see featured in upcoming store updates. And especially in the wake of the Fracture, the refugees of the Hollow Lands seek solace in their celebrations. Just like our own world, Velnor is a place steeped in cultural traditions and holidays. It’s important to us that we stay true to the spirit of the holidays we’re introducing this month, and we promise to respect their real life analog. This year, we’ll be paying homage to some of these holidays, albeit with a Spellbreak twist. The month of February is packed full of celebrations, both in the world of Velnor and IRL. Today, we’re here to talk about something a little less weighty, but still pretty exciting for our team (and we hope for you): upcoming holiday content-and a new way for you to get a sneak peek at upcoming store offerings. When last we spoke, I laid out the pillars of the shop, outlining some of our commitments to always have straightforward pricing and our belief that the core experience of Spellbreak should always be accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of financial investment in the game. I’m Matt, and I’m responsible for running Spellbreak’s in-game shop.
