This Month in Mistica: December '13
Written By Fay

This Month in Mistica is a quick guide to everything that’s happened on site in the past month. Whether you’re new and want a better idea of what goes on here, an older user who’s returning, or simply too lazy to read the news, this article has all -- okay, most -- of the information you need!


December began with Mistmas tree decorating the Ornament Outlet receiving an icon with Mistica’s regular shops. We also kicked off our thirty-one days of avatars! Of course, not to be forgotten is the birthday of one of our awesome writers, gemajgall!


On the 2nd the December Kohal was released. Jahzara appeared to tell us the story of Queen Boreal’s fall.


The 3rd was all about Vending Machine and Credit Shop updates! The adorable Wintergreen Panju was also released.


Jahzara appeared again the next day to tell us the tale of MeriKlaus. Seasonal Mistmas items began stocking in shops all over Mistica.


On the 5th the new Rickets were revealed, and three poppets given away! The icy Wintercursed Zokuleon also made its debut.


A vicious blizzard began its assault on Mistica on the 6th. Ken Kratork reported widespread snow and bad tempers, leading to a snowball fight!


The 7th saw the release of the Frost Inarbu.


Ken Kratork came back with more bad weather reports on the 9th. To combat all the nastiness, some adorable new Fuzzby toys and lovely stained glass ornaments were released.


Custom item slots opened on the 10th.


The next day MeriKlaus heard odd rumors about walking trees, the snowball fight and the blizzard raged, and even Aurelius’s comet was hidden from view. Luckily some Misticans were able to unwind by decorating with a new ornament, playing with some new toys, or downing a few Hollytinis!


Those collecting snowballs were able to turn them in for prizes starting on the 12th. We also celebrated Yuuki’s birthday!


The 13th was a Friday, but we celebrated the Braenon, Emperon and Risylki in addition to the Jinx. There were new items released, exclusive figurines, and the Wintergala Risylki!


The next day MeriKlaus received the awful news that her shop was severely undersupplied due to the blizzard. In addition, the Stignightus who pulled her sleigh all bolted from the stables!


On the 16th a new Ice Fishing game was released, complete with a bunch of prizes for those lucky enough to catch something.


The next day the Blizzard Realm map received an update, and the site adopted an African Giant Pouched Rat.


Finally, on the 18th, Aurelius landed! Unfortunately it wasn’t very smooth, and the star noticed the lack of Mistmas cheer immediately. Later that day he found out that MeriKlaus’s Stignightus were gone, and with his magic, he helped her find them.


On the 19th, MeriKlaus told Aurelius she suspected wood wraiths were spreading discord amongst Misticans to weaken MeriKlaus and strengthen Queen Boreal.  MeriKlaus summoned the strength she had left and blessed the snowballs to cure the wood wraiths of their winter curse.


By the 20th, MeriKlaus was feeling stronger. Wood wraiths were reverting to their natural wintergala or wintergreen forms. A toy drive was started for the pets stuck in the pound for Mistmas, and the Wintergreen Nokwi was released.


Queen Boreal apparently found out about all the cheer and good will, because the next day the blizzard picked up in intensity. So thick was the snow and so violent the winds that MeriKlaus’s faithful Stignightus couldn’t possibly pull her sleigh through it, and Boreal definitely had the power to keep them grounded past Mistmas. Unwilling to let the holiday be ruined, Aurelius blessed the Stignightus, turning them into hardy Shyres who could plow right through the blizzard! His magic spread, and others began attracting Shyres using the Tasty Carrots they found while Ice Fishing.


The 23rd found Queen Boreal desperate. She was losing, and called for the wood wraith General, Flintleaf, to unleash a final attack on Mistica. He could turn other wood wraiths back to their cursed state, and Misticans gathered to throw blessed snowballs to cure and defeat the General.


Mistmas Eve found some stunning new items in the Credit Shop, as well as a sale!


Mistmas morning found the toy drive successful, the wood wraith’s curse broken, and Queen Boreal weakened. The General weakened her further when he attempted to fill the queen’s icy heart with light, but all it did was cause her pain.


The next day the mystery of the One Lousy Sock, the Mistmas Day Advent gift, was revealed: a Tasty Carrot had been hidden in the toe of each one! In addition, the Wintergala Ricket was released. That night, Queen Boreal found a gift from MeriKlaus in her castle: an iridescent star, a reminder of what she had been.


Two days later custom items were released, along with their respective avatars.


On the 30th, a call for writers went out.


December nearly saw Mistica frozen over, and winter isn’t even done yet! What will January bring?
