    For those wondering what this is about, start here

    I'm starting this regardless... hopefully it picks up

    you're bound to remember how this started


    As Aaron stood on the cusp of Lumina, his gaze fixed upon the northern sky, a sense of wonderment enveloped him. The North Star, brighter than ever, twinkled like a cosmic guide, its light piercing through the wintry night, leading to a realm of enchantment. The air, crisp and invigorating, was filled with the scent of pine and the distant melody of jingle bells.

    In this mystical north, a quaint village lay nestled beneath a blanket of snow, its cottages aglow with warm, golden lights. The village was alive with the spirit of the season, bustling with cheerful inhabitants preparing for the grandest celebration of the year. At the heart of this festive paradise was a grand workshop, famed across lands and skies, where dreams were crafted into reality.

Mother elves talked gaily in this magical land, the smell of roast chestnuts and hot cocoa filled the air. The laughter of the elf-child filled the air, learning their craft and playing in the snow with the reindeer whilst growing to be full elves.

    Aaron continued up to the heart of the village, the big house posing as a factory for 11 months of the year. For this is where the father of Christmas lives, the saint himself. It is unusual for an outsider to come so far north, let alone make it to this little village of magic. The elves all turned in the direction of the traveller, as Aaron mustered the courage to take one step in front of the next. Edging forward, the large archaic door towered above him, ending in a pointed roof that dripped in snow. Steadying himself, Aaron took that last step forward, and knocked …
