Hello everybody,

I'd like thank everybody for their patience for the late announcement on the effects of the coal/peppermint artifacts for this year. The effects will be live on the 24th before the gold stockings are due to give up the peppermint. Without further ado, here are the effects:

Candy Hat
---------
1) Offers a positive prestige bonus for all non-village influencing types except charity.
2) Improves your weather resistance.
3) Adds dodging against denizens (stacks with Rune of Absorption, Bodyguard, etc.)
4) TIP your hat as you depart to be randomly teleported within the same area. Slight cooldown.
5) TAKE A BOW to offer all of your allies (and not yourself) a short-duration prismatic shield. 5p, 1/weave.

Coal Shoes
----------
1) Offers a negative prestige malus for all charity influencing. This is, in fact, a good thing despite how terrible it sounds.
2) Increases movement speed.
3) Increases damage against denizens.
4) KICK will attempt to send somebody flying out of the room in a random direction, sprawling and stunning them.
5) STOMP to shake the very earth beneath you, raising short-duration stonewalls in every exit. 1/weave

As well, you will be able to create the previous two years' coal and peppermint items.

Penned by My hand on the 12th of Tzarin, in the year 491 CE.
